If battery life and portability are high priorities, the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 is the better choice as it offers longer battery usage and is lighter, making it easier to carry around. However, if you are looking for a more affordable option, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 could be more attractive, albeit with a shorter battery life and heavier build. Both models have similar RAM and main processors, which are suitable for general use and some level of engineering work, but the ASUS has better screen resolution and a touchscreen, which could enhance your multimedia experience and may benefit creative work. Neither laptop is designed for intensive gaming or high-end 3D/machine learning tasks, although they can handle moderate graphics-related work thanks to their integrated GPUs. The Acer provides a larger screen size which can be better for multitasking and productivity work. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 is good for engineering and design, while the Acer Aspire Vero 15 is only fair.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is equipped with powerful CPU and adequate RAM for engineering tasks, with the main limitation being its average screen resolution and quality, whereas the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13's superior screen resolution and quality make it excellent for design applications, and its lighter weight and convertible form also make it highly portable. However, the Acer's larger screen and dedicated numeric keypad could benefit engineering calculations and data entry, while the ASUS, although more compact, may offer a more premium experience with its higher resolution touchscreen, better speaker quality, and quieter operation.

The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 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 Flip S13 outperforms the Acer Aspire Vero 15 due to its higher resolution and brighter display, which provide crisper images and better visibility in varying light conditions. In engineering and design, the Zenbook's superior color accuracy and wider color gamuts make it more suitable for professional editing where precise color representation is key. However, for gaming and 3D applications, both laptops fall short with their poor refresh rates preventing a smooth visual experience, though resolution and panel quality may still offer decent clarity for less demanding visual tasks.

"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 S 13 Flip is an ultra-sleek 2-in-1 convertible. A gorgeous OLED screen and lightweight magnesium chassis make this convertible a traveller’s dream. Its SSD isn’t fast, but it won’t hold you back in everyday use. Its battery life also isn’t class leading, but it’s hardly off the pace. Overall, the Zenbook S 13 Flip OLED holds its head high in the premium convertible category and is a smaller alternative to the Spectre x360 13.5 and the Yoga 9i Gen 7."
