Manila, Philippines— Acer launched a lineup of green PCs with its Vero series, including the Acer Aspire Vero laptop for consumers and the Acer TravelMate Vero laptop for commercial use. From PCs to peripherals, Vero devices share certain green guidelines, such as utilizing post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic and shipping in recyclable packaging. As sustainability concerns not only how a product is made but what becomes of it, Acer’s Vero devices have also been designed to be easy to disassemble, simplifying the process of repairs or upgrades and ultimately increasing the devices’ lifespans. 

“Environmental protection is important for everyone. But for companies, environment, social and governance or in short, ESG should be addressed. Vero products are a great way to help your company reach its green goals and commitment not just to fulfill regulations but also to show your customers and employees you care.” Said Henry Huang, Director of Acer. 

Acer Aspire Vero – Green Laptop

More than just a stylish computer, the Acer Aspire Vero (AV15-51) is a tangible manifestation of Acer’s commitment to more sustainable operations. Its chassis is composed of 30% PCR plastic, cutting CO2 emissions by 21%[] for the production of that part. The keycaps also contain 50% PCR plastic, and the Aspire Vero’s award-winning 100% recyclable packaging can be repurposed as a DIY laptop stand. From there, a thoughtful design helps to eliminate needless waste by making it easy to disassemble, repair, upgrade and recycle the computer or its components. Running the newly-released Windows 11 operating system, it’s incredibly easy to use, too. 

The green PC’s 99% recyclable 15.6-inch FHD IPS display is powered by 11th Gen Intel® Core processors and Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics, so users can count on world-class performance and productivity when they need it. When working on less demanding tasks, Acer’s new VeroSense software gives users the option of selecting a usage mode that has been optimized for energy efficiency and battery life. Features like Wi-Fi 6, a Type-C USB port and two Type-A USB ports make for a more reliable usage experience, while Acer TrueHarmony and Acer PurifiedVoice with AI noise reduction allow for crystal-clear conference calls. 

Users interested in going all-green can complete the full eco-friendly Vero set with the Macaron Vero Mouse (AMR020), Vero Mousepad (AMP120 / AMP121) and Vero Sleeve (ABG131 / ABG132).

The Acer TravelMate Vero (TMV15-51) is an eco-friendly business laptop aimed at organizations which champion sustainable practices. It comes with up to an 11th Gen Intel® Core i7 processor[2], 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 1 TB SSD, more than sufficient for large productivity tasks, and this power is supported by security measures. A discrete TPM provides enterprise-level security and manageability, while a Kensington lock slot provides physical protection for important data. The TravelMate Vero also ships with Acer ProShield Plus, an all-in-one security solution which includes features like encryption and decryption, plus the biometric authentication measures built into Windows 11 Pro. 

This version of the TravelMate Vero makes it possible for companies to customize[] the laptop’s startup logo, an important part of branding for businesses large and small. This is made possible by features available in Acer Commercial BIOS, which also makes it possible to lock or rollback the BIOS, to update it even on a non-Windows platform, and to leverage CHIPSEC validation for further improved system security. 

Part of the Vero lineup of green PCs, the TravelMate Vero features 30% PCR plastic throughout its chassis, is designed to be easily repaired or upgraded, and ships in 100% recyclable packaging.
