The Acer Aspire Vero 15 has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook 14 for software development, and content creation.
When considering general use, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 and ASUS Vivobook 14 offer fair screen quality because their resolutions and brightness levels are sufficient for everyday tasks, but their panel types may not provide the best viewing angles or color consistency. For engineering and design work, their color gamut coverage likely falls short of high standards required for precise color work, though offering fair accuracy for less demanding tasks. For gaming and 3D applications, their lower refresh rate may result in less fluid motion, and while the resolution and panel type may be adequate, enthusiasts could seek out displays with higher refresh rates for a better experience.

The Acer Aspire Vero 15 and ASUS Vivobook 14 are both only fair for engineering and design.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is better suited for engineering and design due to its stronger CPU and double the RAM of the ASUS Vivobook 14, which are crucial for demanding software used in these fields, along with a higher-quality integrated GPU that benefits graphics-intensive tasks. While both laptops have similar screen quality and portability, the Acer's superior processing capabilities make it more apt for complex engineering applications, despite sharing a similar GPU with the ASUS which is adequate for less-intensive design work.

Matt Elliott | October 2021
"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."
