The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is a cost-effective option with satisfactory performance for general use, moderate battery life, and decent portability; it's suitable for everyday tasks and lightweight computing. In contrast, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X offers significantly higher performance, making it ideal for intensive engineering tasks, 3D modeling, and machine learning, and even gaming, thanks to its powerful processor and dedicated graphics. It features a high-resolution touchscreen display, better color accuracy, and longer battery life, but it comes at a higher cost and is less portable due to its heavier weight. Choose the Acer for budget-conscious general use or the ASUS if you require a high-performance laptop for specialized tasks and are willing to invest more. Give Feedback

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 new Zenbook Pro 16X is more powerful, quieter and doesn't need to shy away from dedicated workstations and gamers. It is also comparatively compact, and our test device is the best Zenbook that we've reviewed so far. It seems equally suitable for content creators and gamers or anyone looking for a very powerful laptop that is still slim."
