Reviews for the Acer Chromebook Vero 514 CBV514-1H, i5-1235U

70% Acer Chromebook Vero 514 review
Source: Laptop Mag
I don’t like Chromebooks, but I did like the performance, keyboard, webcam, battery life, and rugged nature of the Acer Chromebook Vero 514. It lost some points with the display and design, but it really messed it up with the touchpad. If you’re willing to spend some extra cash, I suggest going for the Acer Chromebook Spin 714, since it offers a great upgrade all around, including touch and 2-in-1 capabilities. But overall, the Chromebook Vero 514 is a decent choice for the money.

80% Acer Chromebook Vero 514 review: eco-friendly and affordable
Source: T3
The Acer Chromebook Vero 514 has a slightly odd chassis design that you may either love or loathe, and its eco-credentials are a tad underwhelming. In general, though, it's a fast-working Chromebook with a decent screen, excellent webcam and comfortable keyboard. Admittedly, it's not a good choice for serious gamers, or anyone wedded to 4K. But for everyone else, it offers solid value at a very reasonable price.

80% Acer Chromebook Vero 514 review: Sustainability never looked so good
Source: PC World
The Acer Chromebook Vero 514 is a phenomenal pick for those who want an eco-friendly everyday laptop. The hardware inside promises strong performance and the exterior is both rugged and uniquely designed. In terms of aesthetic and sustainability, it’s definitely a welcome change from your typical run-of-the-mill Chromebook. There are only a couple of downsides to the Vero. The audio is lacking, but that’s not too surprising. Laptops aren’t known for the best audio. You’re also stuck using ChromeOS, which means your apps and game options are limited. If you don’t mind those miniscule nitpicks, then the Chromebook Vero 514 is definitely worth considering.
