The biggest highlight of the Acer Aspire V7 is its perfect IPS screen. But you will have enough battery power to make it through a long business meeting or work on projects during a long commute. The Aspire V7 will never meet the 6 hour and 45 minute time set by the Zenbook UX301LA. For my real-world battery test, I also had Google Music playing in the background with the speakers set to 15 and turned the screen brightness up to 35%. Over the course of 4 hours and 49 minutes, I managed to stream Judge Dredd on Netflix and write up a portion of this review, while dabbling in some fact checking across 15 tabs split between Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. While the battery test revealed some disappointing results, the Acer does a bit better running real world applications. The Asus Zenbook UX301LA' battery life lasts well past the two 14-inch machines at 5 hour and 32 minutes, likely thanks to its lack of a dedicated graphics chip. The Aspire V7 only lasted for 3 hours and 36 minutes on the PCMark 8 battery test, falling short of the Lenovo Y40's 3 hour and 54 minute performance. While the Acer put on an impressive show of gaming and computing power, it has the shortest battery life of all. Comparatively, the i7 chips in the respective Lenovo Y40 scored 191 points and the Asus Zenbook UX301LA trounced everyone else, with 240 points. The Aspire's Intel Core i5 processor also did surprisingly well in the Cinebench CPU test with marks of 227 points. The Lenovo and Acer were neck-and-neck in the Metro: Last Light benchmark, albeit for a terrible score of 6 fps on average.

While playing an actual game, the Acer was able to render BioShock Infinite at 1080p – with all the settings turned up – at 16 fps, beating out the Y40's 14 fps showing. The Acer only trailed the Lenovo in the most taxing Fire Strike test, with scores of 1,465 and 1,533 points, respectively. In the GPU stressing 3DMark test, the Aspire V7 completed the Ice Storm run with 45,720 points, crushing the Lenovo Y40's marks of 22,839 points. The Aspire V7 put up some surprisingly good scores that more than kept in step with the better equipped Lenovo Y40. PCMark 8 Battery Life: 3 hours and 36 minutes.Cinebench CPU: 227 points, Graphics: 55 fps.Although the Aspire V7 can just barely be considered a gaming machine, I was impressed with its performance. It even held its own playing modern games like Wolfenstein and Grid Autosport. It did not hitch at all, whether I was browsing through the web across 20 tabs or tweaking images in Lightroom for this review. Performanceĭespite running with average internals, the Aspire V7 had plenty of power handle my daily work load. The only thing it lacks compared to the Y50 and Aspire V7 is a dedicated graphics chip for serious gaming. Between the 2560 x 1440 quad-HD 13.3- inch display and dual 128GB SSDs paired together in Raid 0, the Asus is a high-end machine. If a fully decked out Ultrabook is what you desire, and you have the cash to burn, the $1,789 (£1,095, AU$1,907) Asus Zenbook UX301LA might be perfect for you. The bonuses of picking the Lenovo Y40 include a faster 2GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 1TB of storage and an AMD Radeon R9 M275X GPU (fairly equivalent to Nvidia's GT 770M).

The Y40 is also equipped with a very similar 1080p 14-inch – albeit non-touch – display, plus the same amount of RAM.
The Lenovo Y40 follows the Aspire V7 very closely, with better specs and a marginally lower $849 (about £526, AU$921) price.
