Today, Acer announced a new lineup of the Aspire Vero laptop and Vero CB1 monitors in Malaysia. As you can see, the Vero name has been adapted to other products and even the monitors have it now. Let's check out what these devices offer in line with Acer's sustainability goals.
Starting with the laptops, there's the new Vero 14 with a higher percentage of Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastic in its chassis, at 40% (its predecessor had 30% PCR). According to Acer, this resulted in a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions during chassis material production and the laptop's trackpad is made of recycled Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP).
In terms of tech specs, the Vero 14 features a 14-inch FHD IPS display, up to 13th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, 512GB SSD of storage and comes in either 8GB or 16GB of RAM. Pre-installed with Microsoft Office 2021 Home and Student edition, Acer Aspire Vero 14 retails from RM2599 (and up to RM3899) and is available immediately at Acer eStore and Acer official stores on Shopee and Lazada.
In conjunction, Acer Malaysia also announced a Trade-in and Go Green Programme to encourage users to switch to a green laptop and reduce their carbon footprint. From now until 30 September 2023, customers can trade in their old devices for up to RM500 cash rebate for the purchase of an Aspire Vero 14. Eligible devices under Programme include working and non-functioning tablets, laptops, desktops and AIOs.
