The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is more affordable, has a larger 15.6-inch screen but weighs more, making it less portable compared to the ASUS ROG Flow X13. The ASUS, on the other hand, is compact and lightweight with a 13.4-inch touch-enabled display, offering higher resolution and faster refresh rate suitable for both gaming and productivity with superior graphics performance thanks to its Nvidia RTX 4070 GPU. For intensive tasks such as 3D work, machine learning, or engineering software, the ASUS excels but at a higher price point. If price is a major factor and portability is not critical, the Acer is a practical choice for general use. Give Feedback

The ASUS ROG Flow X13 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 display, with its adequate resolution and brightness, is fine for browsing and videos, making it suitable for everyday tasks, but its limited color gamut holds it back for precision engineering and design work. The ASUS ROG Flow X13 offers a high-resolution, bright display with wide color gamuts, which ensures sharp, vibrant visuals, essential for detail-oriented engineering and graphic design. However, for gaming and 3D applications, both laptops have displays with low refresh rates, leading to less smooth visual experiences in fast-paced environments despite their other qualities.

"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 Asus ROG Flow X13 is not an off-the-shelf convertible. This quickly becomes clear when you take a closer look at the technical specs. The AMD Ryzen 9 5980HS is a state-of-the-art SoC with 8 cores and 16 threads, which also makes the 2-in-1 interesting as a work device. With 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD, gamers are also well taken care of. The dedicated Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q fits well into the overall concept and ensures a solid 3D performance. With the eGPU dock, which is equipped with a GeForce RTX 3080, the small convertible transforms into a full-fledged desktop replacement in terms of performance."
