Reviews for the Asus Vivobook Go 14 2023, R5 7520U

70% ASUS Vivobook Go 14 review: appeals to the masses
Source: 91mobiles
The budget segment in the laptop world is largely unchanged apart from some year-on-year iterations. However, the Vivobook Go has definitely got the design and performance chops to become one of the best sub-Rs 50,000 offerings in the market. AMD’s latest processor, a sturdy design, and a highly portable form factor, all add to the Vivobook Go’s appeal. Of course, there are a few things that could have made it better, such as the inclusion of keyboard backlighting and the removal of the numpad from the trackpad. Even so, the Vivobook Go, as an overall package, is designed as a reliable workhorse for an audience that does not want to shell out a premium.

AMD Radeon 610M: Integrated graphics card in the Ryzen 7020 mobile series APUs based on the RDNA2 architecture with 2 CUs (= 128 shaders) and a clock speed of up to 1.9 GHz.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users.

Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems.

Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market.

Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.

70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
