Product Information

and measures 363 x 238 x 18mm (WDH), which is marginally heavier and larger than the average for a laptop with a 15. The trackpad is fine if a little soft, so I’ve got no complaints there and it’s got a fingerprint scanner built-in. The Vero works with Windows 11 to give you the very best performance, the latest design and seamless integration of services such as Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams. However, as the Vero uses a standard cooling setup, you will hear that higher pitch sound of a smaller diameter fan working hard. The accompanying Iris Xe integrated graphics have also been given a small boost with a maximum clock speed of 1.

Making laptops with recycled materials is an honourable aim, even if it does not make up for the environmental impact of all the stuff that actually goes into a laptop. Firstly, planting 100 trees for every Vero sold, and secondly, helping you donate your old laptop to charity by cleaning and repairing it - see below for details. The same proved true when I ran the GeekBench 5 test, the Vero just shading all the previous Core i7 integrated graphics machines that we’ve tested.Its casing is 30% PCR, the rest presumably ‘virgin’ plastics that give Acer more control over the strength of the plastic and its finish. VeroSense's focus is on energy efficiency and smartly contributing to keeping your laptop running longer with its four performance modes: performance, balanced, eco, and Eco+. is available, as well as Wi-Fi 6E, which should provide faster wireless speeds and lower latency if you have one of the latest routers. There’s no doubt that the Vero’s environmental credentials are welcome, and the Aspire impresses in other design departments. The picture quickly gets blown out if there’s too much light and appears very grainy at the first hint of your room being a bit dark.

I really enjoy the new touchpad—it's much smoother than the palm rest area around it and provides a comfortable glide I feel is missing from many pads. The entry-level configuration is nothing to scoff at either, as it makes use of a Core i5 processor. Ultimately, Acer says that the Vero’s chassis construction produces 21% less CO2 than a conventional 15. Turning the machine around, you may notice that the Aspire Vero uses standardized screws to hold its undercarriage in place. The Acer Aspire Vero does not have a deep dish meaty keyboard, or one of those contentious ultra-shallow ones.And while slowly freezing outdoors with the display at maximum brightness, the amount it drained suggested a full charge will last around four hours. To give it a real-world road test we worked outside with the laptop for a while on a crisp, cold February morning in London. While there’s likely a small group of people who don’t want a GPU but do want the power of the 1195G7, the mediocre battery life isn’t a sacrifice I’d recommend that most people make. Top Ten Reviews is part of Future US Inc, an international media group and leading digital publisher. PCMark 10's Full System Drive storage subtest, on the other hand, seemed to give the Acer Aspire Vero the most trouble.

If you step up, you don’t just get the better CPU – that machine has 16GB of memory and a 1TB SSD too. That being said, the Vero will play Doom at a consistent 60fps just as long as you knock the video resolution down to 1,280 x 720.The Vero's packaging is also made from recycled materials, fully recyclable again and a uses paper instead of plastic bags. It looks decent, performs very well and you get a generous amount of storage even in the base model. The Aspire Vero also utilizes purpose-built-in software to further the personal goals of eco-minded users, such as energy-saving to extend battery life. Rather than having unsightly stickers slapped all over the place, the keyboard deck has the words “Intel Core” and “Post Consumer Recycled” etched into it for a much classier look.
