If you're looking for a more affordable option with a standard screen setup, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 could be a good choice, particularly if you appreciate sustainability, as it's known for its eco-friendly design. However, it's larger and heavier, which might make it less convenient to carry around. The ASUS Zenbook Duo, while more expensive, offers a dual-screen experience with higher resolution and brightness, better colors, and a faster refresh rate, which can be beneficial for multitasking and creative tasks. It is also more portable due to its smaller size and lighter weight, and generally provides better build quality and heat management. If battery life is a priority, the ASUS has a longer battery life for typical use. The decision should be based on what balances your budget with your needs for screen features, portability, and battery life. Give Feedback

"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."
