Acer unveiled an array of new eco-minded Vero devices, honoring its commitment to support a more sustainable future by offering consumers, businesses and institutions more options to reduce their ecological footprint.

“We’re pleased to continue to deliver on our Earthion mission to tackle environmental issues with novel solutions and greener products by rounding out our Vero line,”

“In addition to new PC and monitor models, our Vero mix now extends to peripherals and projectors to offer a wider breadth of sustainably-designed products that decrease waste and carbon output without compromising performance.” said Jerry Kao, Co-COO, Acer Inc

“Following Intel’s recent commitments to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, we’re encouraged by the collective efforts across the technology ecosystem to build a future of sustainable PCs,”

“Through close collaboration with Acer, we’re building thoughtful yet powerful devices like the newest Vero line powered by 12th Gen Intel Core processors.”  Josh Newman, VP and GM of Mobile Innovation for Intel’s Client Computing Group

Aspire Vero Laptops

The new Aspire Vero (AV14-51) features a 14-inch Full HD display and offers all the ecological benefits of prior generations but is powered by the latest 12th Gen Intel Core processors. Plus, in addition to the signature Cobblestone Grey color, it’s now available in beautiful Mariana Blue.

Combined with Intel Iris Xe graphics and Wi-Fi 6, it’s designed for creating and connecting and complemented by an ample port selection, including Thunderbolt 4/USB Type-C and two USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A ports, one of which can be used to charge mobile devices even when the system is turned off. 

The new Aspire Vero (AV15-52) sports a 15-inch Full HD display and like the AV14-51, is fueled by the new 12th Gen Intel Core processors for taking on the latest productivity and entertainment apps.

Supported by two USB 3.2 Type-A Gen1 ports and a Thunderbolt 4/USB Type-C port, it offers fast connectivity and is able to charge mobile devices while the laptop is off. It’s available in Starry Black as well as the traditional Cobblestone Grey. A Full HD camera supports high quality videoconferencing for connecting and collaborating. 

Co-engineered with Intel, the devices will meet the requirements of an Intel Evo laptop through Intel’s hardware specifications and key experience targets for responsiveness, instant wake, battery life, fast charge and intelligent collaboration. 

Both the 14-inch and 15-inch Aspire Vero feature OceanGlass trackpads, which are made from ocean-bound plastic. Like prior models, both new Aspire Vero’s chassis utilizes 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic, which is durable and rigid and saves 21% in carbon emissions for the production of the chassis.

The laptop’s screen bezel uses 30% PCR plastic and the keycaps use 50% PCR plastic, further reducing the computer’s footprint, while no paint is used on the chassis. To extend the lifespan, the process of making repairs and upgrades is easy with a bottom cover that’s easily removed with standard screws for replacing the RAM and SSD. 

The laptop’s inner packaging is a cleverly-designed multipurpose box with an inner partition that can be folded into a triangular laptop stand[]. This unique packaging protects the device without the need for anything but 85% recycled paper, plus a 100% industrial recycled plastic (PIR) laptop sleeve and an additional sheet of 100% PIR plastic that sits between the laptop’s display and keys.

The two new Vero IPS monitors, the 27-inch FHD Acer CB273 and the 23.8-inch FHD Acer B247Y G feature an eco-friendly design comprised of 85% PCR plastic and 5% ocean bound plastic (OBP). Delta E<1 rated, the Acer CB273 delivers rich and accurate colors.

Vero PD2325W Projector

An energy-efficient projector with low environmental impact, the Acer Vero PD2325W uses 50% PCR plastic in the chassis and 85% recycled paper packaging to reduce waste. Its LED light source provides up to a long 30,000-hour lifespan and results in approximately 50% energy savings compared to traditional mercury-containing lamps projectors. This makes it not only more eco-friendly, but also reduces the total cost of ownership.

With a high 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, a 2,200 lumens and WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution, the Acer Vero PD2325W projects presentations with clarity and precision. It also supports an extended 125% REC 709 wide color gamut that’s 1.5 to 2 times wider than what’s provided by traditional lamp-based projectors.

The projector’s Auto Keystone Correction automatically amends vertical distortions, while the projector can be ceiling mounted. Additionally, integrated BlueLightShield supports blue light filter adjustments to reduce exposure.

The Acer Vero PD2325W has an integrated 5 W speaker for showcasing videos, music and movies without having to connect a separate speaker. It also supports 24/7 continuous use for public displays or museum exhibitions.

Vero Mouse & Keyboard

Acer Vero Laptops, Monitors, Projector And Peripherals

The Vero line now includes peripherals including a mouse and keyboard designed to reduce waste and carbon emissions as well as noise. The top covers of both peripherals are made from 65% PCR plastic and the bottom cover is 30% OBP. A long life cycle is critical to minimizing waste. Both the mouse and keyboard were built for durability with the mouse having a battery life of 18 months and the Vero keyboard, a long lifespan of 5 million clicks. 

The keys on both are nearly silent, an advantage when working in shared spaces, public spaces like cafes or libraries or while enjoying music and podcasts at home. Consumer and commercial models are offered with the consumer versions sporting a combination of light and charcoal grays with bright yellow accents, while a more understated, monochrome charcoal gray is available for professionals.

Acer Earthion
