Acer Aspire Vero: Special Eco Design

The housing is composed of recycled plastic, without sacrificing opportunities, and much progress has been made in terms of product sustainability.

Are you disturbed by the number of microplastics floating in the world's seas when you serve sea bass for lunch on that one Friday of the month as an average household consumer of fish? The issue of plastic pollution has also raised the awareness of technology businesses, thus we are increasingly seeing significant leaps in the direction of sustainability, such as the new Acer Aspire Vero laptop series.

This laptop line incorporates recycled plastic into the design. Because plastic comes in a variety of colors, they left the recycled plastic mixture in parts where the yellow and black fragments are clearly visible, while the main combination is neutral gray, giving the laptop a fascinating design feature without using colors in manufacture. As a result, the laptop sports bright yellow rubber elements that complete the appearance.

However, the appearance alone isn't enough to justify the laptop. Keep in mind that the laptop has its own power slot design, so keep it with you at all times.

The keyboard, like the case, is a built-in part of recycled PCR plastic (post-consumer recycled) and has a backlight, and we have a full keyboard with Numpad that considerably simplifies daily typing, whether you work or work from home. Interesting elements we discovered were imprinted in the case's plastic rather than traditional stickers, such as the Intel Core logo and Aspire Vero branding. There is also PCR marking for recycling, and laptop screen materials, for example, maybe recycled up to 99 percent.

The Acer Aspire Vero laptop's design allows it to have up to three USB 3.2 Gen 1 slots, one of which claims to be able to swiftly charge USB devices even when the laptop is turned off, allowing us to charge the phone at the office without bringing its charger.

There is also a USB-C port, allowing you to connect contemporary gadgets with ease. The laptop also features a complete HDMI 2.0 output, allowing you to connect it to any monitor or projector for easy viewing of content by numerous participants.

When you use the laptop, you will notice a wide touchpad that supports all Windows gestures for speedier control, and the smooth surface makes it quite enjoyable to use. In the corner of the touchpad, there is also a noticeable area that supports fingerprint unlocking and does not interfere with touch detection during use.

The workload of the laptop was of course of interest because it employs the i7-1195G7 Intel processor, which is also the strongest in this category, and for best performance, it requires a sturdy design. You'll see the enormous cooling opening of the system above the keyboard right away, and when you open the laptop, you'll notice that it automatically raises off the table to maximize air permeability.

Acer has gone above and beyond by providing you with a laptop stand that improves the tilt to maintain your screen at a more natural viewing height. Only the package in which you received the laptop was used for this, and the stand folds easily in a few strokes.

The packaging is made entirely of recycled paper, and this is yet another way in which Acer has contributed to the overall sustainability of the package.

Intel has invested much in the development of the graphics component because, in addition to office and homework in Office programs, you can easily edit images and movies, though this depends on what you want to edit.

All "esports" games work well on this device because they have been optimized for it, and you can also play slightly older AAA titles with modest settings. Because integrated graphics share working memory with the processor, we may mention that you have the option of taking 16 GB of RAM in a dual-channel configuration at 3200 MHz speed.

Part of this laptop's environmental effort is the ability to upgrade, so by just removing the typical Philips screws on the rear, you may remove the cover and update the M.2 SSD or even add a larger DDR4 RAM cookie when 16 GB is no longer sufficient.

Once configured, the laptop comes with pre-installed programs that can make your daily life easier, and you can easily remove them if you don't need them. Vero is coming to Norton Antivirus, which you may buy even after the trial time in collaboration with Acer, and it now offers much more than simply virus protection. There are other well-known apps, such as Dropbox and ExpressVPN, that will benefit all users and preserve their anonymity.

The Acer VeroSense app allows you to select from two Eco settings, balanced and, of course, performance. What made us really happy was the application's ability to limit charging to 80 percent of total capacity and then cease charging.

Specifically, if you fully charge the battery (0-100 percent), you have approximately 500 charge cycles before the battery becomes practically worthless. You can have over 1,500 charges that ensure the battery's long life by charging it up to 80% and, ideally, never entirely draining it.

The same idea applies to leaving the battery on the charger all the time, with an 80 percent charged battery "aging" slower when not removed.

In other words, many tiny things have been done to ensure the long life of this laptop, where a powerful CPU, while irreplaceable to the user, will assure long-term operation of the laptop by replacing other key parts such as additional memory, either storage or operation.

When a laptop reaches the end of its useful life, a huge number of its components can be easily recycled today, and who knows what else will be used in 5+ years?
