The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i has a better screen than the Acer Aspire Vero 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15's display provides adequate clarity and visibility for basic tasks and some engineering applications, but it lacks the color accuracy vital for professional design work and the high refresh rates preferred for smooth gaming graphics. Conversely, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i offers sharper and brighter visuals for everyday tasks and manages color-sensitive projects with greater fidelity, thanks to its wide color spectrum; however, its lower refresh rate keeps it from being ideal for high-frame-rate gaming experiences. Both laptops, while satisfactory for routine and specialized work, fall short for gaming enthusiasts looking for fluid and immersive gameplay.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i and Acer Aspire Vero 15 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 and Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i are both considered fair for gaming and 3D due to their shared use of the same range of integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, which are adequate but not optimal for heavy gaming or 3D tasks. Both have similar 60Hz screen refresh rates, which is standard for most tasks but may lack smoothness for fast-paced games; however, the Lenovo has a higher screen pixel density and better color coverage, suggesting superior screen quality, although its smaller screen size might be less immersive for 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."

"Among Lenovo's multiple laptop brands, the IdeaPad family is decidedly the one designed for consumers: people who want decent performance at a reasonable price. Consider, then, this laptop a paragon for the pickier members of that crowd. With a 14-inch touch-enabled display, a comfortable keyboard, an Evo-certified Intel Core i7 11th Generation CPU, and the latest Windows 11 operating system, the IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro ultraportable ($1,199 as tested) is a slick mainstream machine at a bit of a premium price, and quite capable for everyday tasks."
