The LG Ultra 13 has a better screen than the Acer Aspire Vero 15 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15's screen may not have the high resolution or brightness that general users appreciate for clarity and visibility, and its color range might be limited, making it less suitable for engineering and design where color accuracy is crucial. Meanwhile, the LG Ultra 13 offers a screen with better resolution and brightness, enhancing the experience for both everyday tasks and professional design work by providing sharper images and truer colors. However, for gaming and 3D applications where smooth motion is key, both laptops fall short as neither likely has the high refresh rate required to deliver the fluid visuals that these activities demand.

The Acer Aspire Vero 15 and LG Ultra 13 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 and LG Ultra 13 are both considered fair for gaming and 3D due to their integrated graphics solutions, with the Acer using Intel i7 Iris Xe and the LG employing an AMD Ryzen 7 Vega 7, which are moderate in performance and not suited for high-end games or advanced 3D applications. Both have standard screen refresh rates of 60 Hz and IPS panels offering good screen quality, but they do not meet the benchmarks for gaming displays that benefit from higher refresh rates and specialized GPUs.

The Acer Aspire Vero 15 and LG Ultra 13 are both only fair for engineering and design.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is better suited for engineering and design due to its more robust CPU and GPU, which are crucial for demanding tasks, and a larger screen, which benefits design work despite being heavier and less portable. On the other hand, the LG Ultra 13, while lighter and more portable with higher portability and build quality scores, has less powerful CPU and GPU and a smaller screen, which may limit performance and convenience for engineering and design purposes.

How the Acer Aspire Vero 15 and the LG Ultra 13 compare to other laptops
"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 13.3-inch LG Gram is a fine fit if you need to travel as light as possible for as long as possible without spending a fortune to do it. It might not be particularly sturdy or have an eye-catching design and its webcam is less than ideal, but with its sharp touch display, comfortable backlit keyboard, responsive touchpad and a fingerprint reader for extra security, the Gram makes a respectible everyday laptop for business or school work."
