The Acer Aspire Vero 15 comes in at a lower midrange price and offers solid general use performance with decent battery life, while being more affordable than the Lenovo Legion Slim 7. It's a more environmentally friendly option with its eco-friendly build but might not excel in high-end gaming or engineering tasks due to its integrated graphics. On the other hand, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7, while more expensive, boasts a more powerful processor and dedicated graphics card, better suited for 3D work, machine learning, and gaming, as well as engineering applications. It also has a sharper and brighter screen with a higher refresh rate which is excellent for fast motion and color-critical work, but this comes with a slight tradeoff in portability due to its larger screen and marginally heavier weight. Both have a similar battery life for typical usage. Consider your budget and whether you prioritize general use and sustainability, or high-performance tasks and a better display. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is very good for gaming and AI, while the Acer Aspire Vero 15 is only fair.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" outperforms the Acer Aspire Vero 15 in gaming and 3D tasks primarily due to its more powerful Nvidia RTX 4060 graphics card, which is superior to the Aspire Vero 15's Intel Iris Xe graphics. Additionally, the Legion has a much higher screen refresh rate, enabling smoother visuals in games and dynamic content, compared to the Aspire Vero 15's lower refresh rate.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 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 use, the Acer Aspire Vero 15's fair screen quality is due to its adequate resolution and brightness, which are essential for daily tasks, while the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" excels with very good brightness and higher resolution, providing sharper images and more workspace. In engineering and design work, color accuracy is crucial; the Lenovo has superior color reproduction capabilities, covering wider color gamuts which ensure more precise color work compared to the Acer. However, for gaming and 3D, the high refresh rate necessary for smooth motion is lacking in both models, which decreases their screen quality for those particular activities despite the Lenovo's better resolution and panel technology.

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."
