If you value a higher battery life and a more vibrant display for tasks like photo editing, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is a better option due to its OLED touchscreen and longer battery usage. On the other hand, if you prefer a laptop often slightly less expensive and do not mind a standard IPS non-touchscreen, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 could meet your needs. The Acer also has a slightly heavier and thicker build compared to the lighter and slimmer Samsung, which may influence your decision if portability is a priority. Both laptops have similar storage, RAM, and processor performance, making them both suitable for general use and more demanding tasks like 3D rendering or engineering software. However, for intensive gaming, you might not find either to be the best fit, as neither is specialized for that purpose. Give Feedback

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is good for engineering and design, while the Acer Aspire Vero 15 is only fair.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15, with its capable processor and integrated graphics, caters well to engineering and design tasks; however, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 offers a similar processing power and benefits from a higher-quality OLED screen, which can be particularly advantageous for design work where color accuracy is paramount. While the Acer is commendable for such tasks, the Samsung also adds the versatility of a 2-in-1 design and a superior battery life, which may sway users seeking flexibility and longer usage times without needing to recharge.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 and Acer Aspire Vero 15 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 are fair options for gaming and 3D tasks, primarily because they both have integrated graphics from the Intel Iris Xe line rather than more powerful dedicated GPUs, which are better suited for high-performance gaming and 3D applications. Additionally, both models have standard 60 Hz refresh rate screens, which are sufficient for casual gaming but may not offer the smooth visuals that more avid gamers seek from higher refresh rate displays.

How the Acer Aspire Vero 15 and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 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 Samsung Galaxy Book 3 360 isn’t a laptop that the Korean manufacturer has shouted from the rooftops about, and it seems to have gotten little attention from anywhere. But, it is absolutely a laptop worth paying attention to. Compared to higher-priced devices, like the Dell XPS 13 (2022) and Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED (2023), it manages to offer a similar day-to-day experience despite the price difference. It’s really hard to justify the extra cash unless a boosted display is a requirement of yours."
