The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is the more budget-friendly option and is well suited for general use with decent battery life, making it a good choice for everyday tasks and some light multimedia work. However, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo offers superior performance, especially for 3D design, machine learning, and engineering software, as well as a higher quality display with touch support, making it ideal for creative professionals who need high color accuracy and a powerful laptop to handle intensive tasks. The ZenBook also has better heat management but is less portable due to its dual-screen design. If cost is a concern and your tasks are more general, the Acer may fit your needs, while if performance and screen quality are crucial and budget is less of a constraint, the ASUS would be the better choice.

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."

"The Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED is a well-tuned instrument for content creators, excelling at a range of general office tasks as well as tasks that require a little more grunt like encoding and 3D rendering. The big attraction is the laptop’s dual displays. They’re the best ones we’ve used in an Asus Zenbook Duo laptop to date with a spate of year-on-year improvements that make the visuals more striking and the cross-screen integration easier than ever before."
