ACER Aspire Vero - Green PC Laptop - 15.6” Full HD - Intel i7-1355U - 16GB LPDDR5 - 512GB PCIe Gen4 SSD (Fall 2023) It’s possible to buy a solid performing, comfortable and enjoyable-to-use, laptop while saving money and the planet. This eco-friendly laptop doesn’t sacrifice features or performance. The only outward hint that this is a bit special is what I’ll describe as its “breath mint” case. It’s kind’a like flavor crystals (remember those?) embedded in the high tech plastics, but, please, don’t lick it. I actually feel good using this Aspire Vero, because of its eco credentials. I like it because it is a laptop focused on performance, ease of use, and efficient use of resources. SETUP and USABILITY: The setup routine didn’t need much input from me other than a few selections and entering my Microsoft account. It performed an update followed by what seemed like another update, but I was ready to add in my applications and media files within the first hour. I was viewing media, writing this review, cropping some photos and preparing an upload all on the same day. That’s what you want in a home, school or business laptop. Really Important stuff: LEFT SIDE PORTS: DC-Power jack, 2X Type-C Thunderbolts 4, HDMI 2.1, USB 3.2 (supports offline charging RIGHT SIDE PORTS: K-slot Lock port, USB 3.2, Headset jack. Intel’s 13th Gen (Q1’23) Core i7 Processor i7-1355U (10-Core, 12 thread) Not a touch screen: 15.6”, 1920 x 1080 (Full HD); LCD, IPS, 300 nits SSD 512 GB (PCIe 4.0 interface)(pretty easy to upgrade) System Memory 16Gb Graphics Intel Iris Xe Wireless: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 6E NO Ethernet Port, (so use a USB-ethernet adapter, hub, or use Wi-Fi) Front Facing 1080p camera with built-in Mic Keyboard includes number pad, backlighting. Fingerprint Reader embedded in OceanGlass Touchpad Windows 11 Home 14”W x 9.33”D x 0.7”H 3.84 Weight plus included Laptop Case As noted in the list of ports, it is a good feeling knowing I can easily add a large monitor for working at home via the HDMI port and the Thunderbolt ports mean I can add my preferred external SSD Thunderbolt drives via a Thunderbolt hub. I don’t need a 4K screen and the saturated colors and contrast provided by Acer’s Full HD screen makes for a nice (if not perfect) gaming and video watching experience. The screen is quite rich in color and detail. I have the newest Wi-Fi 6 mesh router in my home so I can easily achieve Gig Internet speeds with Acer’s Wi-Fi 6 implementation. Meetings using the 1080p camera with microphone are also trouble-free. Sound quality is very good but I always use either earbuds or external speakers. This is not a bare-bones laptop despite the reasonable price. The venting is ample, effective, and not visibly obvious.The case is easy to grip and doesn’t feel fragile in any sense. It protects Intel’s newly released CPU (i7-1355U) that contains 10 Cores and 12 Threads that can fairly claim to be suitable for games and AI processing. An unusual feature of Acer’s Aspire Vero laptops is how easy they have made them for end users to accomplish their own upgrades for memory and SSD drives. The 11 screws on the lower case only require a Phillips screwdriver and a seam separation tool. The Acer will accept a replacement m.2 PCIe SSD (after FIRST remembering to clone the internal drive and then) following the 9 steps shown in a video on their site. The same process allows you to swap out your RAM and upgrade it. The keyboard feels great although I’m not fully ready for those special mirrored R and E keys which hint at Acer’s new ECO mission. The POWER BUTTON is at the top right of the key panel, at the end of the row of shortcut keys. The TOUCHPAD has a FINGERPRINT reader embedded in the upper left corner and it works perfectly for me, every time. I love regaining wasted time and energy. SUMMARY: I’m impressed with this ACER Aspire Vero for its all around performance and ease of use. It is a perfect laptop for just about any Windows user whose workload doesn’t include heavy duty graphics, competitive gaming or serious video editing. It will. of course, accomplished all of those activities, but pros know to aim higher. For the rest of us, it is too easy to get caught up in chasing performance we will never use and shouldn’t have to pay for. For most of us, the Acer is an eco-friendly, high performing laptop ready for every day computing activities. Acer has been constantly updating and upgrading this popular laptop, so check specs so you’re getting the newest and best. Easy to recommend.

Acer has always provided great alternatives to other brands in the market, without sacrificing a great deal of quality. This Acer Aspire Vero laptop is a nifty Green PC packed with features. Everything from the packaging used to ship it, to the laptop itself cuts down on carbon emissions, once again, without sacrificing quality. Out of the box it comes with a green laptop sleeve, which I really appreciate not having to go out and buy one, that may defeat the purpose of the green aspect. The packaging is 100% recyclable. It took roughly two hours to fully charge out of the box. The battery life since then, has been surprisingly well with almost daily usage. You instantly notice the feel which is almost cardboard like, but still very sleek with a speckled print. The OceanGlass touchpad allows your fingers to glide with ease, and having an app to manage the battery life was a pleasant surprise. It includes a backlit keyboard, and decent sound quality out of the speakers. It also boasts 2 USB-C ports, is lightweight, and quiet solid performance. In my opinion it’s another great Acer option, that will give you what you need for working, or school, without breaking the bank or sacrificing quality. On top of that, you can be green while doing it.
