About this deal

If you’re planning on spending your evenings relaxing with a game or two, then the Vero can game given the integrated Iris Xe graphics on offer, but don’t expect it to run AAA titles. The Aspire Vero feels solid enough that while I didn’t drop it onto the ground during my review, I got the impression that it could take the rigors of daily use in stride. It measures 0.7 by 14.3 by 9.4 inches (HWD), a fairly standard measurement for 15-inch laptops, and weighs 3.9 pounds. While 15-inch laptops aren’t always the lightest options, one under 4 pounds is worth noting. Of course, lighter and thinner profiles do exist—take the Editors' Choice-award winning 15-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop 4, for example. Of course, the biggest talking point of the Aspire Vero is its design, but let’s discuss the numbers first. The dimensions are standard : 14.3 x 9.4 x 0.7 inches with a weight of 4 pounds. This is slightly bigger and heavier than Samsung’s Galaxy Book Pro 360 (13.9 x 9 x 0.5 inches, 3.1 pounds), but smaller and thinner than the HP Envy x360 15 (14.1 x 9 x 0.72 inches, 4.1 pounds). Optimize your efficiency with the most used, trusted, productive and versatile OS for working, learning, developing and playing.

The Aspire Vero is made with Post-Consumer Recycled plastics (PCR) – reclaimed plastics that have been recycled and repurposed to aid in our effort to reduce global waste. The speakers on offer sound nicely balanced with a little bit of low-end punch. They are downwards firing though, so do note that sound could be a little muffled if you place the Acer Aspire Vero on a softer surface, such as blanket or a bed. Acer has gone for something a little more standard in the display department with a 15.6-inch Full HD panel that offers up some decent colours and more than enough screen real estate for day-to-day working and relaxing. The Vero lags behind the competition with it lasting for only half the time of the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7’s near 15 hours, and an hour or so behind one of our top laptops, the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go.The trend continued as we ran the next benchmark, Geekbench 5.4, another multi-core CPU stress test meant to simulate real-world activities. The AMD Ryzen-equipped Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 was the king of the ring in this test, flanked by the VAIO SX14 and the HP Pavilion Aero. VeroSense’s focus is on energy efficiency and smartly contributing to keeping your laptop running longer6 with its four performance modes: Performance, Balanced, Eco, and Eco+.

Intel ® technologies’ features and benefits depend on system configuration and may require enabled hardware, software or service activation. Performance varies depending on system configuration. No product or component can be absolutely secure. A 512GB SSD offers up a decent bit of capacity for storing all your files and programs, and isn’t as stingy as some other laptops. But this is the max capacity currently available on the Vero, which may not suit everyone. The Acer Aspire Vero is one of the most eye-catching laptops I’ve had the pleasure of testing within the last few months. By way of comparison, the current range of MacBooks from Apple come with cases made from 100% recycled aluminium. Last but not least, the final trial is the display brightness and color measurements. Using Datacolor's SpyderX Elite calibrator and its software tools, we measure display performance, screen-brightness output levels, and gamut settings for the three most relevant color spaces for laptop users: the sRGB, Adobe RGB, and DCI-P3 standards.

The environmentally friendly Acer gets a lot of things right, but how does it hold up versus other laptops that have similar specs? To put the Aspire Vero to the test, we’ve run a variety of productivity, graphics, and display benchmark tests to see if you’re getting your money’s worth from this green machine. Time taken to drain from 100% to critical battery level under Windows 11 dark mode while performing typical workflows in a realistic environment. Individual system results may vary.
