The Aspire Vero ships with Windows 11 Home. The notebook never became overly hot to the touch. But the fans were considerably more noticeable on the Core i5 version. As I said, the notebook is capable of anything, except for high-end gaming. It handled general computing with no slowdown at all, even with 15 Chrome tabs open in the background, being able to edit images of Pixlr and listening to my music on Apple Music all at the same time. The version I tested had Intel’s 11th gen Core i5, 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, and Iris Xe integrated graphics-and performed as you would expect from a mid-tier laptop.

The trackpad is large and responsive and includes a fingerprint scanner to let you log in without typing your password via Windows Hello. I also liked the inclusion of a number pad. Keys are well-spaced, stable, fairly quiet, with satisfying travel and good feedback when pressed. The backlit keyboard is surprisingly good. That said, the stereo speakers aren’t bad and can be used for casual music listening and watching YouTube videos.Īlso read | I used a Bluetooth mouse with the iPad mini 6, and here’s how it changed my workflow Acer Aspire Vero review: Keyboard and trackpad And since they are downward-firing speakers, as I have noticed during the testing, the output often gets muffled. The speakers are good enough for media consumption, but they lack bass. The 720p webcam is mediocre, although it’s fine for video calls. (Image credit: Anuj Bhatia/Indian Express) I have had no issues doing basic tasks on the Aspire Vero. Because the display’s brightness level maxes out at 250 nits, it’s best to use the notebook indoors. My only gripe about the notebook’s display is that it’s a little dim and the flaw is clearly visible when you take the notebook outside. I was not even expecting the display to be precise enough for Photoshopping and supporting HDR video. The screen is fine for web browsing, working on presentations and consuming multimedia content but the large bezels around the sides now look a little dated. It’s a non-touch IPS panel, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The display is large, stretching nearly 15.6- inches.

I like the simplicity of the Aspire Vero. It, however, lacks a built-in SD card reader and Thunderbolt connectivity. Other connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0 and Gigabit Ethernet, and there’s a fingerprint reader and a webcam. The notebook has two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, a USB 2.0, an HDMI and a headphone jack.
