  • The Acer Chromebook Vero 514 is made of 30% post-consumer recycled materials.
  • It has a funky look but is rugged, powerful, and fairly priced.
  • You’ll be able to get the first Vero-branded Chromebook in October 2022.

Update, September 9, 2022 (11:30 AM ET): In the original article below, we mention that the Acer Chromebook Vero 514 uses a fan made of recycled materials. However, Acer provided us with incorrect information on that topic. The fan is actually not recycled. We have modified the original text below to reflect this update.


Original article, August 23, 2022 (09:00 PM ET): Acer has a line of eco-friendly products it puts into a line called Vero. So far, we’ve seen Windows laptops, all-in-one desktops, and more in this line. What we haven’t seen is a Chromebook, but that is about to change.
