Hey Mr. Brad Pit , the uploader 🙂
I checked this laptop with i5 processor @ Best Buy felt the body looks like a washroom non-sleepery tiles and monitor looked bending in future due to being too thin , not being hard. However, the specs are good in this range unless u do not mind tiles textured body design.
ho my God thanks God I didn't buy it
The speckled case looks horrible. Good for recycling materials but still.
My wife was looking for a laptop upgrade and while I was checking online and on malls, I kept seeing this laptop and I didn't really pay attention although it was on my shortlist because of the price. Then I went on a deep dive and found out it was made of recycled parts, I immediately bought it. It's the least I can do to help our nature and the specs of this laptop is unamatched for its price. We decided to cover it up with a custom skin with a nature theme.
Nice!
Love it. That battery life though…
Hi! I'm using it now and I'm enjoying it. His design is really cool! 🙂 Kisses from Brazil

acer vero i5 on its very unique keypad. reversal position of E and R for it limited edition
I buy one 😏
Hello guys, up-vote the comment! So I bought this laptop, in my country Denmark the I5 model (Newest 11th gen, 1155g7) and 8gbs of ram 3200 mhz, 512gb nvme ssd was a good price, with the I7 / 16gb running a bit more.
Hardware: 8 gigs can only be upgraded to 12. Im planning to do this. Just booting the laptop eats like 3-4gigs on windows 11 which it comes with only. Bloatware was not to bad, CPU usage on first boot was very low, or 0-3% most of the time, so good enough, the acer software I also didn't remove actually.
It runs quit hot sadly. Even this tigerlake stuff is….not good for battery, and speaking about the I5 model…the IGPU is great. Performance is good, even in games with 60 FPS low settings. It also feels snappy to use etc, but heat is a problem/noisy fans under load. But its 100% silent when not doing much…ALSO! This pissed me off, but the exhaust (warm air) comes out on the top, instead of the sides, so it overheats if you close the lid and continue using the laptop with external monitor – Good thing you can turn off the screen on the laptop and get all things working that way in windows display settings…Also HDR works great on windows 11, no issues 🙂
Build quality is also fine. There is no screen wobble on mine…I really worried about that too, but only the left hinge feels a bit loose, but else no wobble…So far. Anyway full plastic and it feels sturdy. Some deck flex for sure compared to aluminium chassis etc.
In general im happy enough but I think battery is lacking, problems with heat when lid closed AND! also the so-so screen, also because of the amount of ports I like it, I wanted a laptop with ethernet/rj45 port, and only Lenovo and HP seems to have some laptops with that now a days besides acer. Anyway on battery size most in this price range used same 3-cell lithium 45-50 what hour battery or whatever its called.
In general it was the best laptop for performance/hardware and stuff in my country as of end of 2021 in that price bracket. Many laptops has little ports, 256gb, the older I5 1135g7 etc, AND none offered 16gb…Also on the ram, the bios is very limited on these notebooks so no XMP, aka only 2667 MHz ram speed dual channel on my model…
Oh also I opened it up to see what ram and ssd brand it was, Kingston nvme and Samsung ram. You just need a small plastic guitar pick to open it yes. Very easy, anyone can do it.
Hope that helps, please up-vote the comment for others.
Shouldn't the window key of the laptop be that of the Win 11 logo? 🙄
Thank you for the review, ive been thinking in buying this laptop as long as i can make an upgrade by my self. Ist really worth the price?
I very interested if only the price just 7 million rupiah 😎
Now can you make a video about the actual laptop instead of just drooling over the eco side of things?
I would be interested as well but it's not available yet in my country 😭😭😭
$900???? No thanks
Hello ! Thank you for the video. How much is the laptop's ram precisely user upgradable ? Is it dual channel ? Is there a second slot for another SSD ? Again thank you.
Definitely! Loved the idea 💡
Nice to see them designing repairable products!
I hope they don't cut corners on the speakers
What once was a tampon is now a pc that they want a fortune for… how is that fare. I mean you’d be surprised who would actually recycle the plastic part of that just sayin.
Any aluminum laptop would be better, because aluminum can be recycled efficiently, unlike plastic. Recycled aluminum is cheap and is used everywhere in tech. Note that many laptops are 100% recycled aluminum, but there are barely anything that's 100% recycled plastic, except for low quality plastic packaging, and even there the recycled percentage isn't quite 100%.
Additionally, buying a used laptop, be it made of plastic or metal, is still better than buying this 30% recycled plastic laptop, because your purchase then doesn't introduce any new plastic into the world. It's 70% less virgin plastic!
The specs aren't that impressive either: 250 nits brightness, no thunderbolt 4 ports, no usb-c charging.
A used Lenovo IdeaPad or HP ProBook will be in the same ballpark price-wise, and the only thing you are losing is 11th gen Intel CPU – not a big deal.
Just buy used, it's the most eco-friendly option at the moment.
Absolutely I am going to buy this. Great competitor to Framwork
Acer used to make very crappy laptops but now they actually improved now.
This clip was more about the packaging being recyclable than the actual laptop itself. What gives, CNET and Josh Goldman?
Too bad there's only one RAM slot.
Great going Acer. I hope other companies do this.
It looks great almost like a old MacBook. Love the plastic look
Definitely would buy a laptop made of recycled plastic. Due to the ease of getting to the internals, I might recommend this one to my mother next time she needs to upgrade.
Realistically, in my experience, the most significant factor in environmental friendliness of laptops is the upgradability of hardware longer term. Especially RAM. So it is good that this laptop has one memory slot. Presumably you could upgrade the 8 GB stick to a 16 or even 32 GB stick for a total of 24 or 40 GB. The recycled plastic is obviously good too. There needs to be demand for recycled plastic in order for recycling to improve
Cool. Wish it had USB C power adapter though.
It seems like a reasonable value for the specs offered. I like the yellow accents on the bottom. Wish it had a touchscreen.
The box looks like Samsung from 2012. I love it. But this laptop is not cheap.
Next gen: put it in business laptop or any laptop with standard military. And perhaps 1 years more warranty to attract customer.
You lost me at $900
definitely would buy a laptop made of recycled plastics.
I like it
02:59 WoW😬 so much wasted space
Tres kewl
oh the box💬
What I like is the easy access so you can fix things so your laptop can go for longer. Good one Acer
I'm still on Aspire 4339 and Windows 21H1, not compatible with upgrate to 11, this seems a good option to upgrade 🧐
I like it but they should put a USB-C. It's ridiculous that they omitted that for an environmentally friendly laptop.
4:15 there’s a ridiculous amount of wasted space inside of it
Those 2004 era bezels 😖
Good idea 💡🌍
