If you prefer a laptop with a larger screen and longer battery life, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 is a practical choice, especially for extended use without frequent charging. On the other hand, the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED would be suited for those who prioritize a higher-quality display with OLED technology suitable for tasks that benefit from more vibrant colors and better contrast, such as photo editing or media consumption. The Zenbook also offers a touchscreen and is slightly more portable due to its smaller size and lighter weight, which could be advantageous if you travel often. However, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 comes with more RAM out of the box, which can make it better for multitasking and more demanding applications.
Both laptops fall in the lower midrange price segment, with the ASUS Zenbook 14X typically being slightly more expensive. While the Acer seems to have better performance for general use and offers better value for those focused on productivity and cost-effectiveness, the ASUS excels in display quality and portability for those willing to invest a bit more.

The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED has a better screen than the Acer Aspire Vero 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the ASUS Zenbook's OLED panel provides deeper blacks and more vibrant colors compared to the Acer Aspire's likely LCD screen, and with a higher resolution and brightness, visuals are crisper and easier to see in various lighting conditions. For engineering and design, the Zenbook excels with its higher color accuracy and wider color gamut coverage, which ensure that colors are reproduced faithfully, a must-have for precise design work. For 3D and gaming, both laptops may not be ideal due to lower refresh rates, but resolution and panel type on the Zenbook still deliver a better visual experience, despite not being optimized for high-frame-rate gaming.

How the Acer Aspire Vero 15 and the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED compare to other laptops
"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."
"While one of the more budget-friendly configurations of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED may make a compelling case as a top value pick, it’s difficult to be disappointed with the more expensive model we reviewed here. At its core, for all models, it’s a luxury-built laptop with extreme portability and a gorgeous OLED display. Our unit rocks with a snappy Core i9 processor for getting real work done, and the discrete GPU—even if it has a clear power ceiling—is a bonus for creative pros."
