Acer claims to be introducing a particularly sustainable notebook to the market in the form of the Acer Aspire Vero 16 (AV16-51P), which not only makes use of recycled materials, but also particularly energy-efficient Intel Core Ultra processors.

Acer recently presented its new Aspire Vero 16 (AV16-51P) at a launch event in Dubai. This expands the well-known Aspire Vero series, which stands for particularly environmentally friendly notebooks. With this series, Acer has set itself the goal of minimizing the CO2 footprint throughout the entire life cycle.
The new Acer Aspire Vero 16 (AV16-51P) has optimized the reduction of emissions in numerous areas, from the manufacturing process to packaging and recycling at the end of the life cycle in order to bring a particularly sustainable notebook onto the market.
For example, the chassis of the new laptop is made from more than 60% recycled plastic, which is twice as much as the first generation. According to Acer, the surface does not contain any volatile organic compounds, colors or additives. In addition, Ocean Bound Plastic (OBD) forms the surface material of the touchpad. The device is packaged in a box made from 100% recycled and FSC-certified paper. Transportation takes place on reduced emissions through the use of biofuels on various routes.
Only standard screws stand between the user and simple disassembly of the internals for repair, upgrade or recycling. The latest Intel Core Ultra processors are installed, which promise even lower power consumption compared to previous generations. In addition, according to Acer, the integration of Intel AI Boost enables the energy-efficient use of AI functions. The AcerSense battery management software offers further energy saving options with its four Eco+, Eco, Balanced and Performance modes.
Unfortunately, Acer is yet to provide concrete details about the features, prices and availability of the new Acer Aspire Vero 16 (AV16-51P), which is expected in January at CES 2024 in Las Vegas.

I have been fascinated by technology for around 25 years – especially technology that makes life easier rather than more complicated. Mobile devices such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches are particularly close to my heart as is the booming subject of smart homes. I have been working in these areas for several years now as a news and reviews editor. I have been active with various websites, including the smart home blogs homee, Nuki, and siio, as well as tech portals such as Giga and TechRadar. I have been writing news and laptop reviews for Notebookcheck since 2020.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
