The Acer Aspire 3 14 is a budget-friendly laptop that is less expensive and offers decent performance for general use with its AMD Ryzen processor, moderate RAM, and good battery life; it has a 14-inch screen which makes it more portable and it operates silently without a fan. Conversely, the Acer Aspire Vero 15, though more costly, provides enhanced performance with a more powerful Intel i7 processor and double the RAM, suitable for more intensive tasks like engineering software; it also has a larger 15.6-inch screen, potentially better for multitasking and productivity but is heavier, affecting portability.

PCWorld

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."
