If you prioritize battery life and versatility with a touchscreen and a 2-in-1 design, the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is better suited for your needs. It's also lighter and more portable, making it ideal for travel or commuting. However, if your main focus is on a larger screen and a lower cost while still having solid performance for general use and some engineering work, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 could be the right choice. It is less expensive but comes at the cost of having a shorter battery life and lacking the 2-in-1 touchscreen functionality. Both offer similar storage and memory capabilities. Give Feedback

The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo has a better screen than the Acer Aspire Vero 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15, with its fair screen attributes, offers a reasonable balance between sharpness and color for everyday tasks but may lack the wide color range and high resolution that professionals need for precision in engineering and design. The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo provides a better visual experience with its good screen quality, displaying more accurate colors and finer details crucial for detailed engineering and graphic work. However, for Gaming and 3D where smooth motion and quick refreshes are key, both models fall short due to their lower refresh rates, which can result in less fluid motion and delay during fast-paced scenes.

The MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo and Acer Aspire Vero 15 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 and the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo are both rated fair for gaming and 3D because they feature integrated graphics from the same family, which are only moderately suited for such tasks, and they have the same screen refresh rate, which is adequate but not optimal for high-end gaming where higher refresh rates could provide a smoother experience. The Aspire Vero has a larger screen that isn't touch-enabled, while the Summit E13 has a smaller touch screen with a higher resolution, both of which offer good screen quality but are less relevant to gaming performance.

How the Acer Aspire Vero 15 and the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo 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."
"MSI wants to prove that it can do more than just gaming laptops and the Summit E13 Flip is a great example of what the manufacturer is capable of especially in terms of aesthetics and performance. Normally for subnotebooks or convertibles, TDP and performance are often below average as makers want to meet slimmer designs and lower weight targets. The Summit manages to outperform others in its size class and category while still looking sleek and portable in the process. If you want a convertible that won't throttle significantly when under load, then this MSI will be one of the better options you can find."
