Choose the Acer Aspire Vero 15 if you're looking for a more affordable option with decent performance for general use, and a longer battery life which makes it quite portable. It's also highly rated for its cooling and quiet operation during use. However, if you need superior performance for tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, or intensive gaming, the ASUS ROG Flow X16, while more expensive, offers significantly better specs, including a more powerful processor and graphics card, a higher resolution touchscreen display, and better overall build and speaker quality. It's heavier though, and has a shorter battery life, reducing its portability. Give Feedback

"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."

"Above all else, the Asus ROG Flow X16 is one thing - versatile! It is a thin, mobile work device, it's a 2-in-1, tablet, a powerful workstation and even a gaming PC. But something even more surprising: It does all of these things really well without making any big blunders. It's anything but a lazy compromise. Because, despite its compact dimensions and 2-in-1 functionality, the hardware isn't throttled and boasts, at least in turbo mode, above-average performance."
