Acer has announced a set of new laptops launching with Windiows 11, including the Aspire Vero, made using recycled plastics.
With Windows 11 set to launch tomorrow, companies are lining up new hardware to go right alongside it. Acer is one such company, with three new laptops launching in October, two of which launch tomorrow, right alongside the new OS. Among the new Windows 11 laptops is the Acer Aspire Vero, Acer’s first sustainability-focused laptop, as well as new Swift 5 and Nitro 5 laptops. Starting with the Acer Aspire Vero, Acer says it’s his first sustainability-focused laptop because it’s using post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics both for the chassis and keyboard caps. About 30% of the chassis is made of PCR plastics, and the keyboard caps use 50% PCR. Acer also isn’t using any paint on the chassis, so it has that typical grainy look that many recycled products tend to have. The laptop even comes with stickers featuring eco-friendly messages you can use to add some flair. Additionally, Acer is using 100% recyclable packaging for the laptop, with 100% recycled plastic already used for the laptop sleeve and keyboard protection, and 85% recycled materials used for the carton box.
