When comparing the Acer Aspire Vero 15 and the HP Victus 15, consider that the Aspire Vero has more RAM, which could be better for multitasking, and it comes with a higher-tier Intel i7 processor. However, the Victus 15 features a dedicated Nvidia RTX 3050 graphics card, making it more suitable for gaming or graphic-intensive tasks, and it also has a higher refresh rate display which provides smoother visuals. The Acer, being lighter, is more portable, whereas the HP has a marginally larger battery and could offer better runtime. The Acer might be a bit more costly but offers a balanced performance, while the HP, being less costly, is aimed more towards gaming and heavy-duty tasks. Choose the Acer if you prefer general performance and portability or the HP if you are into gaming or use software that benefits from a dedicated GPU. Give Feedback

The HP Victus 15 has a better screen than the Acer Aspire Vero 15 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15's screen may not be as bright or high resolution as preferred for vibrant and clear visuals in day-to-day tasks, while the HP Victus 15 offers a better visual experience for watching videos, browsing, and document editing. For engineering and design, both laptops lack wide color gamuts necessary for precise color work, but the HP's slightly better panel gives it an edge in displaying more accurate colors, although neither is ideal for professional color grading. When it comes to gaming and 3D applications, the low refresh rates on both make them less suited for fast-paced games or smooth 3D rendering, with the Acer Aspire Vero 15's poorer display making such tasks especially challenging.

How the Acer Aspire Vero 15 and the HP Victus 15 compare to other laptops
"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."
Olivier Martin, Ryan Lim, and Yannick Khong | March 2023
"The HP Victus 15 is great for gaming. It's available with Intel 12th Gen. CPUs and NVIDIA discrete graphics, which are powerful enough to provide a smooth gaming experience in demanding AAA titles at 1080p. It has a nice keyboard and a fast SSD, as well as Wi-Fi 6 and Ethernet connectivity for low-latency online gaming. Unfortunately, its 144Hz display has a slow response time causing noticeable ghosting, and it doesn't support variable refresh rate to reduce screen tearing."
