The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is somewhat less expensive and offers more RAM, which may provide you with a smoother experience when handling multiple tasks or applications simultaneously. It has a larger 15.6-inch screen compared to the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14's 14-inch display but lacks a touchscreen. The ASUS, being somewhat more expensive, features a touchscreen and a higher capacity battery, which may result in longer use between charges. If portability is a priority, both laptops are relatively light and close in size, but the ASUS is slightly more compact and lighter, making it easier to carry around. Both laptops come with ample storage and have the same main processor and GPU, suitable for general use and capable of handling 3D rendering or engineering tasks, though they might not excel at intensive gaming or high-end machine learning applications.

The ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 has a better screen than the Acer Aspire Vero 15 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
In general use, the Asus Zenbook Duo 14’s higher resolution and brighter display make visuals sharper and easier to view in varied lighting than the Acer Aspire Vero 15. For engineering and design, the Zenbook’s superior color gamut ensures more accurate color representation, which is critical for detailed design work, contrasting with the Aspire's fair performance. However, for gaming and 3D applications, both laptops do not deliver the high refresh rates preferred for smooth motion, though their resolutions and panel types are acceptable for such tasks.

The Acer Aspire Vero 15 and ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 and ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 are considered fair for gaming and 3D because both have integrated Iris Xe graphics, which are modest in performance compared to dedicated gaming GPUs, and their screens have a standard refresh rate of 60Hz, which isn't as fluid for fast-paced games that benefit from higher rates.

The Acer Aspire Vero 15 and ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 are both only fair for engineering and design.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is geared towards engineering and design with a strong CPU, ample RAM, and a decent GPU for moderate workloads, but has a standard screen quality and larger size, making it less portable but with a good keyboard. The ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 also hosts the same CPU and GPU but with less RAM; however, it boasts a superior screen quality with higher brightness and color coverage, along with a unique dual-display that enhances multitasking, and it's more portable but has a compromise on keyboard size due to its compact design.

"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 Duo's second screen is like the Apple Touch Bar, but better. Most would agree that having two screens instead of one can really boost productivity and the ZenBook Duo is no different in this regard. It's tough going back to just one screen after becoming accustomed to spacious dual-screen setups. For a laptop form factor, however, users will have to accept some compromises. Firstly, weight is the most obvious drawback as the system is several hundred grams heavier than a regular ZenBook 14. Additionally, colors on the second screen will not be as vivid as the main display."
