New ACER Aspire Vero 'Green' Laptop

I recommend watching this review:

My thoughts:

  • Instead of USB-C power delivery, it uses Acer’s proprietary barrel plug. This should be illegal. :smiley:
  • No Thunderbolt either.
  • The screen is a little dimm. And it is only 1080p, but this is subjective.
  • I’ve always liked the keyboards and trackpads that Acer uses, so I wouldn’t expect any problems here.
  • Speakers sound okay.
  • In terms of repairability, it looks fine overall, but with some exceptions.
    • 8GB of RAM is soldered directly to the board and you only have one SO-DIMM slot available.
    • Single M.2 slot.
    • The keyboard is non-replaceable.
    • Changing the battery is pretty easy.
    • The trackpad is also easily replaceable.
    • You can completely extract the motherboard.

I would definitely rather go for Framework.
