The Lenovo ThinkBook 13x and Acer Aspire Vero 15 are both good for general use, though the Lenovo ThinkBook 13x is somewhat better.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 has a solid CPU and ample RAM suitable for day-to-day tasks, a decent screen, and good battery life that supports general use without frequent charging, but it's a bit heavier which detracts from its portability. On the other hand, the Lenovo ThinkBook 13x offers a similar performance with a high-quality screen in a more compact and lightweight design, making it highly portable, although this might come with a tradeoff in battery life when compared to the Acer.

The Lenovo ThinkBook 13x 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 has a display that meets everyday tasks with adequate resolution and brightness, but falls short for engineering and design due to limited color coverage, and it's not suited for gaming and 3D work due to a lower refresh rate. The Lenovo ThinkBook 13x offers a higher-quality display with better resolution and brighter screen suitable for both general use and the demanding color accuracy needed for engineering and design, though like the Acer, it lacks the high refresh rate preferred for smooth gaming and 3D applications. In both cases, while the displays provide clear and bright images for day-to-day tasks, professionals in engineering, design, and especially gaming might seek specialized screens that cater to their specific needs.

The Lenovo ThinkBook 13x and Acer Aspire Vero 15 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15's GPU allows for entry-level gaming and 3D applications, but its screen refresh rate doesn't ideally support high-frame-rate gaming. The Lenovo ThinkBook 13x, though its CPU and screen quality are decent for general use, shares a similar compromise, with a GPU suited for lighter gaming and creative tasks, but its refresh rate limits the smoothness in fast-paced scenes.

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."
