If performance is a priority for you, particularly for 3D rendering, machine learning, or engineering tasks, the Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i, with its more powerful main processor and GPU, is better equipped. It also has a higher resolution and refresh rate display, which are beneficial for such tasks. On the other hand, if battery life is more important for you and you prioritize a balance of price and performance for general use, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 might be the better option. Keep in mind, however, that despite its lower price, it offers lower performance compared to the Lenovo, particularly in graphics-intensive applications, and it has a lower resolution display. Both laptops have similar portability, so the choice here would primarily hinge on the importance of performance versus price and battery endurance for your particular needs. Give Feedback

The Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i is good for gaming and AI, while the Acer Aspire Vero 15 is only fair.
The Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i is better suited for gaming and 3D applications due to its dedicated Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU and higher screen refresh rate of 120Hz, which enhances fluidity in motion for fast-paced games and rendering tasks. In contrast, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 has a less powerful integrated Intel Iris Xe GPU and a lower refresh rate of 60Hz, which means it may not handle intense gaming or 3D work as smoothly.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i has a better screen than the Acer Aspire Vero 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general usage, the Acer Aspire Vero 15's screen may not be as sharp or vivid due to its limited resolution and brightness, while the Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i offers a crisper, brighter display enhancing the viewing experience. In the realm of engineering and design, the Lenovo's superior color representation through broader color gamuts provides more accurate color work, something the Acer's display can't match. In contrast, both laptops provide less optimal experiences for 3D tasks and gaming, as their screens do not support high refresh rates needed for smooth motion, despite reasonable resolution and panel quality.

"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."

"Lenovo’s IdeaPad Pro 5i represents an impressive opening salvo for Meteor Lake in the ultraportable space against familiar foes from AMD and Apple. Not only does the Core Ultra 5 125H processor provide good performance across the board, but battery life remains a strong point against the Acer Swift Edge 16 with its AMD Ryzen 7 7840U processor. It can’t quite match the endurance of the 15-inch MacBook Pro, but the gap is shrinking."
