If you prioritize long battery life and a higher-quality display with touch support, which makes it well-suited for visual tasks like photo editing, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 is a superior option. However, it is more expensive and has a slightly heavier build, which may impact portability. On the other hand, if cost is a major factor and you're looking for something more affordable for general use, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 is significantly less costly and offers good performance for everyday tasks, but with a lower display quality and shorter battery life compared to the ASUS model. The Acer is also slightly lighter, which could be beneficial if you're often on the move. Both laptops are equipped for engineering tasks but the ASUS has a dedicated graphics card which will provide better performance for 3D, machine learning, and gaming. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 and Acer Aspire Vero 15 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is equipped with an integrated GPU, which is less capable for gaming compared to the discrete Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti GPU in the ASUS Zenbook Pro 15, yet both share the same screen refresh rate of 60Hz which is just the baseline for gaming but may not provide the smoothest experience in more demanding games or 3D applications. Despite the Acer's integrated GPU offering lower performance, both laptops have similar CPU capabilities and screen quality, with the ASUS possessing a superior OLED panel, which could enhance visual experiences, but it doesn't improve the refresh rate that is vital for gaming.

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 ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers a strong CPU, chassis, and display. One of the most popular 15.6-inch prosumer or multimedia laptops out there is the Dell XPS 15. Thus, comparisons between it and the Asus Zenbook Pro 15 are inevitable. Asus has a couple of tricks up its sleeve that XPS users are still missing out on including 1080p OLED and an AMD Ryzen CPU which help separate the Zenbook Pro 15 from the XPS 15. It also integrates a numpad and a few more port options albeit at the cost of a larger chassis size."
