The Acer Swift Edge 16 has a larger, high-resolution OLED screen that's well-suited for detailed work in engineering and graphics, with better color reproduction for those who need visual accuracy. It's also more portable due to its lighter weight. However, the Aspire Vero 15 is somewhat less expensive and offers good general performance for everyday tasks. Both have the same amount of RAM and are not touchscreens but if you need more internal storage and a laptop for 3D or machine learning tasks, the Swift Edge 16 might be more appropriate, despite being more expensive. If battery life and price are your primary concerns, the Aspire Vero 15 would be a solid pick. Give Feedback

The Acer Swift Edge 16 has a better screen than the Acer Aspire Vero 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15's screen may not be as bright or high-resolution which is why for general use and engineering tasks, where clarity, sharpness, and color accuracy are key, it may fall short. The Acer Swift Edge 16, with its higher brightness and resolution, excels in displaying crisp and vibrant images, making it ideal for both general use and professional design work where color gamuts are critical. However, both laptops lack high refresh rates, which limits their effectiveness for smooth visuals in gaming and 3D applications, where fluid motion is paramount.

"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."

"The Acer Swift Edge 16 is a solid super thin-and-light that pairs a large, gorgeous 16-inch display with portable design that rivals the weight of LG’s superlight Gram 16. Remarkably, Acer achieves this at a lower price point without sacrificing performance. Boring design and disappointing battery life hold the laptop back from stardom, but its rivals frequently suffer in these areas, too. That makes the Swift Edge 16 an alluring value pick."
