The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is generally less expensive and offers solid general use with a larger screen, but is heavier and has shorter battery life. On the other hand, the Lenovo Flex 5 14 is somewhat more expensive and has a smaller but sharper and brighter touch display with better battery life, making it more portable. It also features a different processor that provides slightly better overall use and performance for 3D tasks. Both have backlit keyboards and are similar in build quality and design, making them suitable for general use, but not ideal for intensive gaming or professional engineering applications.

The Lenovo Flex 5 14 has a better screen than the Acer Aspire Vero 15 for content creation, and software development.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 and the Lenovo Flex 5 14 have screen characteristics that are adequate for tasks such as browsing the web and working on documents, thanks to their resolution and brightness, but they may not deliver the most vibrant colors or sharpest images for more demanding visual tasks. For engineering and design work which require precise color representation, these laptops might not meet professional needs due to limited color gamut coverage, meaning the range of colors displayed is not as broad as desired. Gamers and those involved in 3D work may find the screen refresh rates on these models insufficient for the smoothest visual experience, and while the resolution and panel type can support moderate graphics work, they do not excel in environments where fluid motion and rapid screen updates are critical.

The Lenovo Flex 5 14 and Acer Aspire Vero 15 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 and the Lenovo Flex 5 14 both offer fair gaming and 3D performance as their integrated GPUs (Iris Xe for the Acer and Vega 8 for the Lenovo) provide decent, but not high-end, graphics capabilities, while the screen refresh rates stand at the standard 60Hz, which is suitable for general use but not optimal for high-frame-rate gaming. Both have good CPUs and IPS screens for clear images, but their moderate GPUs and average refresh rates limit their ability to excel in more demanding gaming and 3D tasks.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Lenovo Flex 5 14 to be good for engineering and design, while the Acer Aspire Vero 15 is only fair.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is suitable for engineering and design due to its robust Intel i7 CPU paired with a decent Iris Xe GPU, substantial RAM, and a quality screen, although it's a bit heavier and has less battery life compared to the Lenovo Flex 5 14. The Lenovo Flex 5 14, while also well-equipped for engineering tasks with its Ryzen 7 CPU and integrated Vega 8 graphics, offers better portability, a slight edge in screen quality with higher resolution and touchscreen capability, and a longer battery life, making it a more versatile choice for mobile engineers and designers.

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 highlight of the latest IdeaPad Flex 5 14 is clearly its AMD CPU. The octa-core Ryzen 7 5700U is insanely fast even when compared to the best Tiger Lake Ultrabooks in the market or even Core H CPUs in many gaming laptops. It's a lot of raw processing power for what is supposed to be a budget 14-inch convertible. If your daily workloads can benefit from extra multi-thread CPU performance, then look no further than the inexpensive AMD-powered Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14. For regular on-the-road browsing or video streaming, however, a slimmer and lighter 10th gen Core Yoga, Spectre, or XPS would be a more balanced option."
