The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is slightly less expensive and offers a better battery life, which makes it good for general use and carrying around. It comes with a power-efficient processor and integrated graphics that handle everyday tasks and light gaming well but isn't ideal for demanding 3D applications or intensive gaming. In contrast, the Gigabyte G5 costs a bit more and has a shorter battery life but boasts a more powerful processor and dedicated Nvidia graphics, making it suitable for 3D rendering, machine learning tasks, and enjoying games with enhanced graphics. However, the G5 is heavier and may be less convenient to transport. Choose the Vero 15 for portability and general use or the G5 for higher performance in demanding tasks and gaming. Give Feedback

The Gigabyte G5 is good for gaming and AI, while the Acer Aspire Vero 15 is only fair.
The Gigabyte G5 outperforms the Acer Aspire Vero 15 in gaming and 3D due to its superior Nvidia RTX 4060 graphics card and a higher screen refresh rate of 144Hz; the Aspire Vero is equipped with an Intel Iris Xe and has a lower refresh rate of 60Hz. Meanwhile, the Aspire Vero has a more powerful CPU, but since GPU and refresh rate hold more importance in gaming and 3D applications, the G5 takes precedence in this context.

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 Gigabyte G5 KE is a midrange gaming laptop that checks most boxes. Gigabyte makes good use of the Core i5-12500H and RTX 3060 Laptop GPU combo, and we find no untoward issues with overall performance. The dual-fan quad-heatpipe cooling arrangement does well to ensure that the underlying hardware doesn't throttle under load. That being said, the display is below par when compared to 2023 standards, especially when competing devices."
