Acer Aspire 5 15 vs ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15

PerfectRec’s Gaming and AI Score strongly emphasizes graphics processing capability, while also taking into account other factors that impact suitability for gaming and AI work.

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 has a higher-end CPU and GPU combo, larger storage, and superior screen quality which makes it very good for engineering and design tasks that demand more power and detailed visuals. While the Acer Aspire 5 15 is lighter and quieter, with a number pad on the keyboard which may be favorable for some work settings, its more modest performance specs make it just good for similar tasks.

PerfectRec’s Content Creation Score takes into account the many different features of the laptop that make it more or less suitable for photo editing, video editing and other content creation tasks.

When considering general use, the Acer Aspire 5 offers adequate resolution and brightness, but the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 stands out with a higher quality display that provides better visibility and clarity. For engineering and design tasks, the ASUS has better color accuracy and a wider color gamut, making it preferable for tasks that require precise colors and detailed graphics. However, despite their strengths in other areas, both the Acer and ASUS have lower refresh rates, which may not be as satisfying for 3D applications or gaming which benefit from smoother on-screen motion.

Battery life estimate is based on a mix of common use patterns. More portable and higher performing laptops tend to have less battery life.

PerfectRec’s Build Quality Score incorporates case materials, display and keyboard flex, hinge quality, and overall reliability.

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 offers superior screen quality with higher resolution and brightness, better CPU and GPU performance suitable for more demanding tasks, and a longer battery life, making it very good for general use despite being less portable and heavier than the Acer Aspire 5 15, which is still good for general use with a solid CPU, adequate RAM, and an efficient battery for lighter and more typical daily activities. The higher storage capacity and quality aspects like keyboard and speaker of the ASUS also contribute to its elevated general use suitability, while the Acer maintains a balance with competitive features and easier handling due to its lighter design and form factor.

PerfectRec’s Software Development Score takes into account the many different features of the laptop that make it more or less suitable for software developers.
