The Acer Aspire Vero 15 is usually a bit less expensive than the XPG Xenia 14, with a larger 15.6-inch screen but heavier weight, making it less portable. It operates with an Intel i7 processor, which is generally more powerful than the XPG's i5 but can impact battery life, lasting shorter compared to the Xenia 14. The Xenia 14, while slightly pricier and offering a smaller 14-inch screen, has a higher resolution and battery capacity, and is lighter in weight, thus more portable. Give Feedback

The XPG Xenia 14 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 provides adequate resolution and brightness for everyday tasks but lacks the wide color gamut needed for precision in engineering and design and does not offer the high refresh rate gamers seek for smooth visuals. The XPG Xenia 14 boasts a higher-quality display that accurately represents colors, making it suitable for detailed work in engineering and design, but like the Acer, it falls short for gaming due to a lower refresh rate. Both laptops, while capable for general and professional use, wouldn't satisfy avid gamers who prioritize fluid motion and rapid response times.

The XPG Xenia 14 and Acer Aspire Vero 15 are both good for general use.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 provides solid performance for general tasks with a capable CPU and ample RAM, a decent screen, and good keyboard, but it has average battery life and is less portable due to its larger size and weight. In contrast, the XPG Xenia 14 offers similar CPU performance and RAM, a higher quality screen, and is highly portable with great battery life, though it has a smaller display which may affect multitasking ease..

The Acer Aspire Vero 15 and XPG Xenia 14 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Acer Aspire Vero 15 and the XPG Xenia 14 are both considered fair for gaming and 3D because they are equipped with integrated graphics that handle basic gaming but lack the high-processing capability of dedicated GPUs, which is essential for advanced gaming and 3D applications. Both laptops have a 60Hz screen refresh rate, which is adequate for casual gaming but not ideal for competitive gaming, where higher refresh rates can provide smoother visuals and a competitive edge. The Vero 15 has a slightly larger screen but a lower screen pixel density compared to the Xenia 14, which offers better screen quality overall.

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."

"The Xenia 14 is a top 14-inch laptop under 1 kg. ADATA isn't exactly known for its laptops and so we weren't expecting much from its first 14-inch Ultrabook. With that said, we're pleasantly surprised by how well the Xenia 14 looks and performs. Not only is it incredibly light, but it has a color accurate 16:10 display, high CPU and GPU performance, easy RAM and SSD serviceability, plenty of port options including Thunderbolt 4, and long battery life. It packs a lot of punch and features considering the size and weight to be better than even the LG Gram series."
