Acer CES 2022 – Sustainable Vero laptop National Geographic Edition and Chromebooks for all

Acer CES 2022 is heavily pushing the sustainability theme. It highlights the National Geographic Edition, a special edition of the Acer Aspire Vero and three new Chrome OS Chromebooks for users working in the cloud.

Acer Aspire Vero National Geographic Edition

We have previously covered Acer Aspire Vero – a green laptop for a more sustainable future, and the National Geographic Edition is an evolution of that concept.

Users will notice several diagonal lines running across approximately half of the top cover. These lines divide the laptop’s surface into land and sea and allude to the impact of global warming on rising sea levels. Opening the laptop reveals the iconic National Geographic yellow border, on the bottom right corner of the keyboard. The message lies in yellow print on the spacebar, “For Planet Earth.”

Tech specs are excellent – Intel 11th Gen Core, Wi-Fi 6, USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 ports and 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic throughout its chassis, 50% PCR in its keycap. It is easy to upgrade, repair or recycle.

Acer has taken steps to reduce its ecological footprint. Born from our Earthion platform, the Vero product has strong accolades from users and media alike. We and we hope our efforts will encourage partners and industry colleagues to take similar steps in their capacity.”
