If price is a concern and you're looking for a budget-friendly option, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 typically costs less than the HP EliteBook 845 G9. For general use like web browsing and office work, both laptops will perform well with similar storage and memory, but the HP EliteBook offers slightly better build quality, a higher-grade webcam, and a longer battery life, which might be important for work on the go. The EliteBook also has a better screen for color accuracy and viewing angles, making it more suitable for creative work or watching high-quality videos. However, the Acer Aspire has a larger screen, useful if you prefer more screen real estate for multitasking. The HP EliteBook edges out as a premium business laptop with additional features such as facial recognition and a more portable design, so it may be a better choice if you need enhanced security and mobility.

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 high-end version of the HP EliteBook 845 G9 with a Ryzen 9 PRO 6950HS, 32GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD packs a lot of power, but is still quiet and cool enough to operate in noise-sensitive environments. Quiet, cool and drawing on a massive 40 watts from the APU at the same time, however, is not possible. The 14-incher only has a single-fan solution and it only just manages to keep an near unthrottled Ryzen 9 in check."
