The Acer Aspire Vero 15 offers a more budget-friendly option with a decent performance for everyday tasks and some engineering work, thanks to its Intel i7 processor and 16GB of RAM. It has a standard 1080p IPS display with a 60Hz refresh rate, which is suitable for general use but not ideal for fast-paced gaming or high-refresh-rate needs. Its battery life is respectable, and it's a bit lighter and more portable than the ASUS. However, it lacks the premium features and high-end performance of the ASUS. On the other hand, the ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED is a more premium choice with a stunning OLED display that boasts higher resolution, better color accuracy, and a faster 120Hz refresh rate, making it excellent for content creation, entertainment, and tasks that benefit from a vibrant screen. The inclusion of an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and Arc 8-Cores GPU means it will handle more demanding tasks and some gaming with ease. It also has a more modern design with a taller 16:10 aspect ratio screen, which is great for productivity. However, it's slightly heavier, has less RAM out of the box, and might be more expensive. In summary, if you prioritize a superior display, better performance for creative work, and don't mind a bit less portability, the ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED is the way to go. If you're looking for a more cost-effective solution for general use and are okay with a more basic display and performance, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 would be a suitable choice. Give Feedback

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."
