By the year 2020, Acer has reduced its carbon dioxide emissions by 60%, which is both an achievement and an example for other manufacturers. As a part of the initiative, Acer Aspire Vero, an eco-friendly laptop has been launched on May 27, 2021. Keep reading this article to know more about Aspire Vero specification and price. The 'Eco-Friendly laptop' by Acer The most unique aspect of this eco-friendly laptop is the use of post-consumer recycled plastic. The chassis and the keyboard on this laptop are made using PCR. Other than that, up to 85% of the packaging material used is made from paper, eliminating plastic. In places where the paper does not provide the structural integrity required, 100% recycled plastic has been used. However, this does not make the Acer Aspire Vero any less of a performance machine.

Other than that, the chassis is designed with an HDMI 2.0 port, 1 USB Type-C port and 2 USB 3.2 ports, which offers a connection with a variety of peripherals and accessories. Special Features The Acer Aspire vero is easy to upgrade and repair. Unlike other manufacturers, Acer has used standard screws which are easily available in assembling the laptop so that it can be handled easily in case of repair or degradation.

Designed to be easily repaired, upgraded, and recycled, the eco-smart Aspire Vero is a testament to our commitment to more sustainable operations. The light yellow and neutral grey pigments of PCR produce an unpolished surface while mirrored ‘R’ and ‘E’ keys draw further attention to the core message of ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.' - Acer on their official website about the new exo-friendly laptop. Acer Aspire Vero Price The Acer Aspire Vero is an ambitious product focussed on the environment and sustainability. Hence, the components inside the laptop, and the body of the laptop are made from easily available and eco-friendly materials. However, the price and availability of the laptop are unknown at the moment. Considering the specifications and overall performance of the laptop, it should not be priced too high.
