Considering your needs, if you prioritize a touch screen and longer battery life at a lower cost, the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15" is a practical choice. However, for those who value higher performance due to more RAM, which enhances multitasking and demanding tasks, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 may be the better option, though it comes at a higher price and provides a shorter battery life. Both laptops have the same size screens and resolutions, and neither is designed for intensive gaming, but if general build quality is a factor, the Lenovo may have a slight edge. When it comes to portability, they are similar, although the Lenovo is known to manage heat better and has less fan noise. Give Feedback

For general use, laptops like the Acer Aspire Vero 15 and the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15" offer decent panel type, resolution, and brightness, ensuring comfortable viewing in various lighting conditions and ample detail for everyday tasks.

The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15" and Acer Aspire Vero 15 are both good for general use.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 offers a solid balance for general use with its Intel i7 processor and 16GB of RAM ensuring smooth multitasking, while the IPS screen ensures good color and viewing angles; however, it falls short in battery life compared to the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15", which offers longer battery life and a similarly capable AMD Ryzen 7 processor with 8GB of RAM which is sufficient for general use, plus its IPS touchscreen display enhances interaction, and it's slightly more portable due to its lower weight. Both laptops come with ample storage and quality keyboards but the IdeaPad has an edge with better speaker quality and more efficient heat management.

Additionally, both laptops have a screen refresh rate of 60Hz, which is adequate for casual gaming but less than the higher refresh rates favored for competitive gaming.

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 Lenovo IdeaPad 5 is convincing due to its long battery life. The device scores points especially with its large battery and long battery runtimes combined with its low consumption. The CPU and GPU perform in the test as one would expect, and in line with what was familiar from the somewhat smaller 14-inch sister model, the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14."
