The Vivobook Go 15 spends its budget on a capable Ryzen processor and 512GB drive, then saves money with only 8GB of memory. ASUS Vivobook Go 15 E1504FA includes RAM: 8 GB / Storage: 512 GB SSD; the memory is the multitasking allowance and the drive is the cupboard: both need to suit the work being stored and opened. ASUS Vivobook Go 15 E1504FA includes full HD screen; its day-to-day value depends on how often the owner will actually use it. ASUS Vivobook Go 15 E1504FA is clearly marked as a configuration exception because it does not meet our preferred 16GB RAM and 512GB storage comparison point. That balance gives ASUS Vivobook Go 15 E1504FA a recognisable audience rather than making it a universal recommendation.

Our process

How we reached this verdict

This is a research-based review, not a claim of hands-on testing. We checked an exact UK retail configuration, its published feature summary and price on 1 August 2026, then cross-referenced manufacturer documentation and authoritative category guidance. Retail popularity did not determine the verdict or score. Where dependable independent hands-on testing was not yet available for a new or lower-volume model, we did not substitute an unrelated review.
