If you prioritize a laptop with a superior screen, including better resolution and color accuracy, and slightly better overall performance for tasks like 3D rendering or machine learning, the ASUS Zenbook 14X stands out, especially considering its superior portability due to less weight. However, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 offers a larger screen and a longer battery life, which is beneficial for extended use without charging. The Vero 15 also tends to be quieter and has better heat management. The ASUS carries a higher price tag, so if budget is a significant factor, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 may offer a more cost-effective solution. Both laptops have the same amount of storage and RAM, making them suitable for general use and engineering tasks. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook 14X is good for engineering and design, while the Acer Aspire Vero 15 is only fair.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is equipped with a solid CPU and integrated graphics suitable for engineering applications and offers a standard screen quality which is practical for design tasks; however, its size and weight reduce its portability compared to slimmer options. On the other hand, the ASUS Zenbook 14X provides a higher-end CPU and dedicated graphics card for more demanding engineering software, along with a superior OLED screen for design precision, balanced with high portability due to its lighter design and smaller screen.

The ASUS Zenbook 14X has a better screen than the Acer Aspire Vero 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 has adequate resolution and brightness for daily tasks and document handling, making it satisfactory for general use, but its limited color gamut and modest panel type fall short for high-precision engineering work and the slow refresh rate dampens the gaming experience. The ASUS Zenbook 14X offers crisp visuals and vibrant color reproduction, courtesy of a high-resolution display and broad color coverage, ensuring detailed and accurate work in engineering and design, but the standard refresh rate isn't ideal for the fast-paced action in gaming and 3D applications. Both laptops prioritize color accuracy and image detail over gaming-oriented features like high refresh rates, suiting them better for productivity than for high-end gaming or 3D rendering.

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."

"With the Zenbook 14X, Asus has a 14-incher in its range that is - mostly - a joy to use. First, there is the colorful OLED panel with 3K resolution that displays the sRGB and DCI-P3 color spaces. The Zenbook is also at the forefront in terms of workmanship, input devices and connections with 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports and a generous keyboard layout. A pleasure to use, the Zenbook 14X is a solid, very well-built subnotebook that sits well on the table. A runtime of five hours, however, is below average for a high-end subnotebook nowadays. The OLED screensaver causes increased power consumption when in idle mode."
