The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is more budget-friendly and has a reputation for being eco-friendly, suitable for general use with moderate performance. It offers a decent screen and good battery life, making it a viable option for everyday tasks and basic productivity. However, if you need higher performance for 3D rendering, machine learning, strenuous gaming, or engineering applications, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 is the better choice despite being more expensive. It has a more powerful graphics card, a higher refresh rate display for smoother visuals, and better overall build and performance capabilities suitable for demanding tasks, but with these features comes a slight hit to portability due to extra weight. Both laptops have similar storage, RAM, and screen size, but the Legion provides extras like RGB keyboard lighting and higher scores in various performance categories. Give Feedback

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 Legion Slim 7 is a slim Legion notebook that is just as excellent with Nvidia & Intel. However, the Legion Slim 7i slightly sullied by lacklustre battery life. You get a slim aluminium chassis, great input devices, decent port selection, fast high-quality WQXGA display and great performance. Supporting Thunderbolt 4 is one advantage of the Intel/Nvidia model tested in this review. Moreover, this variant has slightly higher CPU performance as well as better GPU performance in certain applications (e.g. CUDA-based apps). The Lenovo Legion S7i is thin, premium and performant – but less efficient than its AMD counterpart."
