The Acer Aspire Vero 16 is an eco-friendly and relatively affordable laptop with reliable ability in several key areas. It’s fast enough for everyday workloads, has a good screen and a battery that lasts all day. While other laptops are faster, the $840/£899 price is solid, too. It may not beat some rivals in particular areas, like performance or screen quality, but it’s a rock-solid daily workhorse with bonus sustainability credentials.

In around 18 months Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 so now is the time to start looking for a suitable Windows 11 machine. This offering from Acer in the Aspire series supports 'the earth' by using more suitable components, they name this feature VERO.

The Acer Aspire Vero 16 is a cute, eco-conscious laptop (if you ignore its soldered on memory). It offers a decent all-around package that leaves very little to complain about. It’s performance is up to snuff in everyday use, with only a few snags here and there when it’s overloaded with browser tabs. While nothing about it is remarkable, its average marks in just about every category are worthy of some praise for a machine coming in at $750. There’s more performance and more exceptional designs available from quite a few other laptops coming in below $1,000, but the Acer Aspire Vero 16 is still the cheapest by a wide enough margin that anyone who can’t stretch their budget or stomach the smaller screens can rest assured the Acer Aspire Vero 16 isn’t a bad alternative. And it might just be a better option for the environment.

If you're looking at buying a laptop made with sustainable materials, the Acer Aspire Vero 16 has some of the most impressive stats out there. I, for one, applaud Acer's efforts in continuing to raise the bar with sustainable devices. There will come a time when being made with eco-friendly materials is the norm, not just a selling point, but for now, the Acer Aspire Vero is a statement-making machine. The laptop's hardware places it firmly in the mid-tier range, and its performance (and price) reflects that. For this reason, the Vero is a fantastic choice as a second laptop, a device for students, or as a travel laptop, or for anyone interested in reducing their carbon footprint. If you're looking for a more high-end laptop also made from sustainable materials, check out the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon for $1,700. If you're looking for a similarly-priced laptop with a 14-inch screen, take a look at the Acer Swift Go 14 (2024) for $899.

If you need quick results from the latest creative apps, then this might not be the right laptop for you. Its processor, while made from Intel’s latest energy-efficient clevernesses, doesn’t have the raw grunt for Blender or heavy video work that you’ll see elsewhere. What it does well is as an office machine or image editor, especially as it’s well connected via Thunderbolt and HDMI, so can hook up to big screens and fast external storage, even if you might need an Ethernet adapter. The 2TB of SSD on board also means it can empty your memory cards nicely if you’re out on a shoot, and it has no trouble running Photoshop. Its eco credentials also mean you can get the warm glow of knowing you’re helping the planet - or at least damaging it a bit less - by using it, and that has to count for something.

The Aspire Vero 16 is a solid 16-inch laptop that beats out most others in the 16-inch market thanks largely to its extremely affordable price point. Simply being cheap isn’t enough of course, and the Vero 16 has a great webcam with a physical shutter, is lightweight despite its size, and is running on the Intel Core Ultra CPU. However, it's missing an Ethernet port and microSD slot, which is annoying.

Overall, we can't stay mad at Acer's green laptop, as it consistently finds ways to incorporate more PCR into its system year after year. It also remains an effective productivity machine for well below $1,000—a feat that is becoming rarer by the day. However, despite being one of the more affordable entry points into Intel's latest CPU, the Vero's performance isn't stellar. It's not terrible either, which makes the Acer Aspire Vero 16 a fine purchase for those looking to handle work and school with some play on the side. The Acer Aspire 3 (A315-24P) is a smart place for the most cash-strapped shoppers, but our Editors' Choice remains the Asus Zenbook 14 OLED Touch (UM3406).

16.00:
This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.

78.5%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
