The emergence of environmentally friendly materials can be seen from the external packaging to the product itself. Acer officially announced at the global press conference held earlier this month. Announced its first eco-friendly laptop, the Acer Aspire Vero, which is made of PCR-recycled plastic. It also uses paint-free casings, standardized screws and other components. The built-in VeroSense smart battery management application also provides energy-saving and performance benefits. strike a balance. The Acer Aspire Vero is an eco-friendly laptop equipped with an Intel Core i5 series processor, 8GB DDR4 memory, an Intel iris Xe internal graphics chip, and a 512GB M.2 NVMe SSD and other entry-level hardware specifications.

The biggest feature of Aspire Vero is that it is made of a large number of post-consumer PCR recycled plastics. The chassis (including the top and bottom covers, the screen frame and the operating surface) is made of 30% PCR plastic material. According to Acer officials, it can be reduced by about 21%. % of CO2 emissions. There is an etching of the acer brand logo on the cover of the screen.

The Aspire Vero is equipped with a keyboard configuration that includes independent number keys. The special Vero keycaps are made of 50% PCR recycled plastic. The touch and touch are not significantly different from ordinary keyboards. The white keyboard backlight only provides activation The function is turned off, and the brightness part cannot be adjusted. In addition, the yellow and mirrored R and E keyboard characters on the keyboard represent the environmental protection spirit of recycling, including Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

In addition, the fingerprint recognition device can be seen on the upper left of the touchpad. Works with Windows Hello for secure login.

The Acer Aspire Vero weighs 1.83Kg including the built-in lithium battery, which is a little heavy for a 15.6-inch laptop, and the thickness of the laptop is 17.9mm, which is still acceptable. The attached special transformer is a 65W configuration, and the weight including the charging cable is a lightweight 275g. Of course, we must emphasize that the common plastic bag material outside the transformer in the past is also made of 85% recycled paper. The completed transformer protection paper sleeve.

In the Aspire Vero notebook, users can achieve a balance between performance and power saving through the built-in performance mode, balance mode, Eco mode and Eco+ mode switching through Acer's exclusive VeroSense smart power saving technology.
