Acer Aspire Vero 15 vs ASUS TUF Gaming F17

For general use, a laptop screen's readability and eye comfort matter greatly, so the Acer Aspire Vero 15 with its fair panel type, resolution, and brightness is adequate, while the ASUS TUF Gaming F17 offers a more pleasant viewing experience with good overall screen quality. When it comes to engineering and design, accurate color reproduction is crucial; while both laptops provide fair performance in color gamuts, professionals might seek better coverage in these areas. For gaming and 3D tasks, the importance of smooth motion and sharp images means the TUF Gaming F17, despite its higher refresh rate, still falls short with a poor rating in this domain, likely due to its panel type and resolution not meeting the top expectations for these intensive visuals.

Battery life estimate is based on a mix of common use patterns. More portable and higher performing laptops tend to have less battery life.

PerfectRec’s Build Quality Score incorporates case materials, display and keyboard flex, hinge quality, and overall reliability.

The Acer Aspire Vero 15 offers a balance suitable for general use with a faster CPU, more RAM for smooth multitasking, and a lighter build for better portability, supported by a higher portability score, while the ASUS TUF Gaming F17 trades some of these attributes for a more gaming-oriented experience with a dedicated GPU, sacrificing some portability and battery life, which is shown by its lower portability score and shorter battery life.

The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is suitable for gaming and 3D tasks to an extent, aided by its integrated Iris Xe graphics and a standard screen refresh rate, while the ASUS TUF Gaming F17 offers a higher refresh rate and a dedicated Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti GPU, providing smoother visuals and better handling of graphics-intensive games and applications despite having a less powerful main processor compared to the Acer. Screen quality on both laptops is quite similar, with both featuring IPS panels for better viewing angles and color accuracy, however, the larger screen of the ASUS may offer a more immersive experience for gaming and media consumption.

The Acer Aspire Vero 15, with its high-performing Intel i7 processor, ample RAM, and integrated graphics, is suitable for engineering and design tasks demanding solid CPU and memory performance, but its screen and GPU are less suited for graphically-intensive work. Conversely, the ASUS TUF Gaming F17 features a powerful Nvidia RTX GPU for graphic-heavy tasks and a higher refresh rate screen, but has less RAM and a lower-tier CPU, making it a better choice for GPU-accelerated applications but possibly less optimal for CPU-intensive engineering software.
