The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is typically significantly less expensive than the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 and offers respectable general use with a decent balance of weight and battery life, making it suitable for everyday tasks and portable enough for light travel. In contrast, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 is a more powerful device with a higher-quality screen, better graphics capabilities, and a stronger performance in rendering and machine learning tasks, which also makes it much better suited for intensive gaming; however, this comes with an increased price and slightly less portability due to greater weight. If you seek high performance for demanding tasks and are willing to invest more, the ASUS is the way to go, whereas the Acer is a more budget-friendly option for general use. 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."

"As long as you're aware of the fact that the GeForce RTX 3080 laptop version can only unfold its potential to a limited extent due to Asus's low TDP setting and that it can be slower than a fast RTX 3070 laptop, the ROG Zephyrus G15 GA503Q cuts a fine figure. One of the biggest highlights turns out to be the WQHD panel, since it attracts customers with 165 Hz, relatively fast response times, FreeSync, and good color-space coverage. Other selling points are the surprisingly rich sound, the long battery life, and the sleek design. In terms of looks, the white edition stands out nicely from the competition."
