Our Verdict
ASUS Vivobook S 16 Flip TP3604 (2023)
Acer Aspire 5 15 (2023)
The ASUS Vivobook S 16 Flip TP3604 (2023) and the Acer Aspire 5 15 (2023) are both Windows productivity laptops available with Intel 13th Gen U- and H-series CPUs. The ASUS is a slightly higher-end model that provides a better user experience, sporting a more comfortable keyboard, a larger touchpad, and a better webcam. Also, unlike the Acer, the ASUS is available with a 3.2k OLED display, and it's a 2-in-1 convertible, so you can use it as a tablet.
