Given the information available, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 is more expensive but offers significantly better performance with a higher-end processor and more RAM, better suited for intensive tasks including engineering and 3D work. The ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is more affordable but with limited storage and a lower-end processor, it's best for basic tasks like web browsing and document editing. The Vivobook is slightly lighter, which may make it easier to carry around. Battery life is comparable, so if portability and cost are your main concerns, ASUS could be the way to go, but for better overall performance, the Acer is the better investment. Give Feedback

The Acer Aspire Vero 15 has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 offers a decent balance for general use with its adequate resolution and brightness, but it falls short for gaming and 3D applications due to a lower refresh rate, which can limit the smoothness of fast-paced visuals. It's also not the best fit for engineering and design tasks because its color gamut coverage doesn't meet the high standards required for precise color work. In contrast, the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 has a screen that doesn't quite provide the clarity and brightness that general users appreciate, and similarly to the Acer, it struggles with color-sensitive work and fluid motion in games and 3D rendering due to its limited color range and lower refresh rate.

"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 Vivobook Go 15 is a good option if you’re looking for one device to tackle a bunch of smaller problems. For simple school studies, portable evening entertainment or distractions, and getting household admin or light office workloads out of the way, it’s a great little package with respectable battery life, and a great contender for the advent of cloud gaming."
