Expert tester comments
Acer claims that is 15.6-inch Aspire Vero V15 has 40% post consumer recycled plastic in its chassis, and that its touchpad is made from 100 per cent ocean-bound glass (the waste that's saved from spilling into the ocean). The former gives the laptop a nice texture and look, while the latter allows for very smooth navigating and gesture control. Under the receycled chassis is a strong configuration that is fine for office and media work, and it might even run some games as long as the graphics settings aren't high. It's just a decent, basic laptop at a reasonable price point.
