The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is often slightly more expensive than the Lenovo Slim 7 16 but is lighter and thus more portable. It has a lower screen resolution, no touchscreen, and less powerful graphics, making it less suitable for 3D rendering, engineering, and gaming. However, it is quite competent for general use. In contrast, the Lenovo Slim 7 16 has a higher screen resolution with a touchscreen, making it better for engineering and content creation. Its more robust graphics capabilities also make it more suitable for 3D tasks and gaming. The battery on this Lenovo is significantly larger, potentially giving it longer battery life. If portability and price are more critical, opt for the Acer, but for better performance in graphics-intensive tasks and a higher-quality display, the Lenovo could be the better choice. 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."

"At $1,011, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Pro is a real bargain among full-sized laptops, with a handsome 16-inch, 16:10 aspect ratio touch screen, a speedy CPU, a comfortable keyboard, ample memory, and a roomy solid-state drive. It's not a blazing gaming rig or mobile workstation, but it doesn't pretend to be. Its biggest negative is that it may be hard to find—during our review, it sold out and was marked "Temporarily Unavailable" on Lenovo's site."
