If price is a deciding factor, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 is significantly less expensive while offering decent performance for general use, and it's suitable for intensive gaming. However, the Lenovo Slim Pro 9i, although more expensive, provides superior performance for 3D rendering and machine learning tasks due to a better GPU. It also offers a higher quality display and longer battery life but comes in a smaller screen size. For those doing engineering tasks or in need of more powerful graphics and higher storage, the Lenovo might be preferable. The Acer, on the other hand, would be a more budget-friendly option for everyday tasks and casual use. Give Feedback

"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 Slim Pro 9i is an impressive laptop with a brilliant Mini-LED display, a powerful 100-watt version of Nvidia RTX 4050 graphics, and excellent connectivity. Having run the Cinebench benchmark again, we were impressed with the CPU performance. That makes the Slim Pro 9i is an easy recommendation, especially for those who care about GPU and CPU performance. It’s also a fantastic choice if you frequently view HDR movies and games on your laptop."
