Being eco-friendly isn’t easy. Whenever we purchase a new toy, cosmetic, gadget, powerful piece of hardware, or even something as simple as a water bottle, we are in one way or another perpetuating a cycle of material consumption with goods that often get incorrectly disposed of somewhere along their lifetime.
Purchasing a laptop is no different, and although you won’t find a device that can completely erase your footprint, some models make an effort to try. Enter the Aspire Vero, Acer’s eco-friendly paint-free laptop in which 40% of the plastic used to build the chassis is made from post-consumer waste. Not only that, but its touchpad is made entirely from ocean-bound plastics. While all of that is wonderful, is the laptop itself any good?
