The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is generally less expensive and has a larger screen, a more powerful Intel i7 processor, more RAM, and a wider keyboard with a number pad, suitable for general use and multitasking. However, the ASUS Zenbook 13, being more expensive, offers better portability due to its lighter weight and smaller size, alongside a higher-quality OLED screen with better colors, making it excellent for media consumption and frequent travel. Both laptops are not ideal for intensive gaming but can handle general use and engineering applications; the Acer with slightly better performance, the ASUS with significantly better screen quality.

The Acer Aspire Vero 15 and ASUS Zenbook 13 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 has an Intel Iris Xe GPU which is capable for light gaming and 3D applications but may struggle with demanding titles due to its standard refresh rate and integrated graphics. In contrast, the ASUS Zenbook 13 also has integrated graphics with its AMD Ryzen Vega 8 GPU and a standard screen refresh rate, but offers superior screen quality with its OLED display, which still may not fully compensate for the limitations faced in high-performance gaming and sophisticated 3D tasks.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers ASUS Zenbook 13 to be good for engineering and design, while the Acer Aspire Vero 15 is only fair.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is better suited for engineering and design due to its higher RAM capacity, more powerful Intel CPU, and superior screen contrast, which enhance multitasking, computational performance, and visual clarity, respectively. In contrast, the ASUS Zenbook 13, while still capable, has less RAM and a less powerful AMD CPU, which may limit performance in demanding tasks, despite its portability advantages and adequate for general use screen quality.

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."

"The Asus ZenBook 13 is a compact 13-inch laptop with a fast Ryzen 7 5800U and OLED display. The subnotebook is also light and the modern design is convincing. The selection of high-quality materials make the device not only light, but also very stable. In addition, the visuals and haptics of the device offers a high-quality impression. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800U is a very good fit for the ZenBook 13, ensuring a high performance in the test. However, in terms of the 3D performance, we also notice that the Vega architecture is beginning to hit its limits."
