The new Acer Chromebook Vero 514 builds on Acer’s Earthion mission and embraces the spirit of sustainability that leverages recycled and recyclable materials, packaging mostly made from recycled paper, and supports easier upgrades, repairs, and recycling. So, essentially this is a new-age laptop that is easy to upgrade, repair, disassemble and recycle.
