Additionally, it features a more premium build and a professional aesthetic. Weigh these benefits against its higher cost and slightly increased weight, which affects portability. Give Feedback

The Dell Inspiron 16 5630 and Acer Aspire Vero 15 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 and the Dell Inspiron 16 5630 are fair for gaming and 3D tasks primarily because they are equipped with Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics, which offer moderate performance suitable for entry-level gaming but not for high-end gaming experiences. Additionally, both laptops have a standard screen refresh rate of 60Hz, which is fine for casual gaming but not ideal for fast-paced or competitive gaming where higher refresh rates are beneficial; however, the Dell has slightly better screen quality due to a higher brightness and broader color coverage.

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."
