This is a neat idea, and the laptop even comes with fairly good settings implemented by default that balance performance with power consumption.

On top of tools provided by Microsoft inside Windows 11, Acer includes a utility called VeroSense that can guide you to switch the Aspire Vero’s settings to save power (and therefore reduce the carbon output in its use). Whether you’re using it on a hard surface or your lap (or a nice desk mat) this isn’t a laptop for enjoying entertainment–definitely invest in some headphones.
Even when cranked up to listen to a podcast or a YouTube video with a person talking, the stereo down firing speakers simply sound hollow. Like last year, I found the 2023 Aspire Vero’s speakers to be thin and somewhat tinny, lacking much volume or bass. For snappy biometric login using Windows Hello, the touchpad has a small fingerprint reader in the upper right corner, which works reliably.įor as much effort as Acer put into crafting the Vero from recycled materials, they should have spent a little more time on the speakers. I found that turning off tap-to-click was helpful here, but beware that the mouse might sometimes get a mind of its own. If I had any bone to pick with this setup is that it was far too easy to brush up against the pad with my palms, and that meant I was frequently selecting text unintentionally. The “OceanGlass” recycled plastic touchpad is fairly smooth for swiping and scrolling but needs a firm press to activate the mechanical clicker. This larger 15.6-inch option crams in a narrow numpad on the righthand side that’s just about a usable size.
The whole thing is backlit, although only with two levels of brightness. While the keyboard is maybe a little squishy, the key throw is satisfying and it’s easy to tell when you’ve successfully pressed a button. Acer’s used plenty of recycled materials here but nothing quite feels cheap including, thankfully, the keyboard and touchpad.
