Acer recently announced their first Chromebook Vero 712 laptop featuring a sustainable design and 12th Gen Intel Core processors with a 12-inch 3:2 display. The other 3 Chromebook laptops include the Spin 512 with a 12-inch 3:2 display, Spin 511 with an 11.6-inch display and the Chromebook 511 with an 11.6-inch display,  Intel N-series processors and optional LTE connectivity.

All 4 Chromebooks feature MIL-STD810H (military standard for drop and shock resistance) and the Chrome Education Upgrade for easier management and deployment. On top of metal ports, the keyboards are spill resistant with moisture-resistant OceanGlass touchpads, so they are designed for students who don’t really take care of their laptops as much as adults might.

Like other Acer Vero products the Chromebook Vero 712 utilizes recycled materials like 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic in the chassis. However, unlike the 12th Gen Intel Core powered Vero 712 the other Chromebooks use the Intel N100 and N200 processors for savings in costs and energy efficiency.

Both the new Spin Chromebook laptops also feature Antimicrobial Corning Gorilla Glass touch displays but all the laptops support 720p webcams and faster and more reliable Wi-Fi 6E.
