For general use, the Lenovo LOQ 16i offers a better display with higher resolution and refresh rate, which enhances visual experience, though it's slightly less portable due to its size and weight. The Acer Aspire Vero 15, on the other hand, is more compact and lightweight, making it a better choice if you prioritize portability. When it comes to performance, the Lenovo LOQ 16i's dedicated Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU and newer Intel i7-13620H processor outshine the Acer's integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics and previous-gen Intel i7-1195G7, especially for gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning tasks. The Acer, however, is still capable for everyday tasks and some light gaming or engineering work. Battery life is comparable, but the Lenovo may consume more power under heavy GPU usage, which could be a consideration if you often work on the go. Both laptops have similar RAM and storage configurations, but the Lenovo's better color coverage and contrast ratio make it more suitable for color-critical tasks and a more enjoyable media consumption experience. In summary, choose the Lenovo LOQ 16i for superior performance and a better screen for gaming and creative work, but if you value a lighter, more portable device for everyday tasks, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 is the way to go.

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."

"Gaming laptops with an RTX 4060 are available starting from about 1,000 Euros (~$1,060), even in 16-inch format. For the supposedly affordable Lenovo LOQ 16 (1,500 Euros, ~$1,591), the manufacturer particularly saves in the equipment and materials compared to the more expensive Legion series. In addition, the LOQ is slightly heavier and more bulky. What remains is anything but a laptop full of difficult compromises. Instead, this is a more than solid gaming laptop that focusses on the 3D performance.Q is slightly heavier and more bulky."
