The Acer Aspire 3 15 is significantly less expensive than the Acer Aspire Vero 15 and has decent performance, fanless operation which makes it silent, and a relatively long battery life. However, the Aspire Vero 15, although more expensive, offers a higher performance with double the storage and RAM, a faster processor, and is well-suited for more intensive tasks like 3D and engineering work. Choose the Aspire 3 15 for an affordable, quieter option that handles everyday tasks with ease, or the Aspire Vero 15 for more demanding applications and a performance edge. Give Feedback

Alexander Tozzi, Ryan Lim, and Yannick Khong | March 2023
"The Acer Aspire 3 is okay for school use. It feels reasonably well-built, and it's easy to carry around. The display looks decently sharp and provides plenty of space for multitasking, but it doesn't get bright enough to combat glare. Its Intel Core i3-N305 CPU and integrated graphics can only handle simple tasks, like text processing, web browsing, and video playback, so it isn't ideal for students in more technical fields like 3D graphics. Unfortunately, the battery lasts only around six to seven hours of light use."

Matt Elliott | October 2021
"The Acer Aspire Vero is an eco-friendly Windows 11 laptop. Made with PCR plastic, the Acer Aspire Vero stands out from the midrange laptop pack with a funky, eco-friendly design. Powering Microsoft’s latest operating system is a Core i7 chip from Intel’s latest series, integrated Intel Xe graphics, and an ample 16GB of RAM. The laptop feels snappy, but its battery life disappoints. I also have a few quibbles with the display and keyboard, but they’re relatively minor. With a longer runtime, the Aspire Vero would earn a stronger recommendation for students or anyone looking for an eco-friendly, big-screen laptop."
