The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is less expensive and offers a larger screen, a comfortable keyboard, and decent general-use performance, making it suitable for everyday tasks, with a reasonable battery life and weight. On the other hand, the ASUS ROG Flow Z13, while pricier, provides a higher-resolution touchscreen and a much more powerful processor and graphics suitable for 3D rendering, machine learning, and gaming, along with better portability due to its lighter weight. It also features a higher refresh rate display for smoother visuals, but this comes at the expense of a slightly shorter battery life. If your work involves intensive computing tasks and you need portability, the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is the better option, otherwise, for general use, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 may suffice at a lower cost.

"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 Z13 is a gaming tablet with powerful Alder Lake i9 CPU. The ROG Flow Z13 impresses with its good cooling. After our review, the impression is predominantly positive. Besides a very fast Alder Lake CPU and stable gaming performance, especially the cooling system is surprisingly effective and quiet. You can use the integrated speakers without any issues while gaming. The 1200p display in the 16:10 format also impresses with good color reproduction and high brightness. Since the battery runtimes aren't particularly long as it is, we wouldn't recommend the optional 4K panel."
