Have to say, I really dig the aesthetic in addition to the concept-and I wasn't even aware Acer made a Vero model (for Windows) prior to catching this video. Really excited to learn more about this model, looking forward to the full review!

I am going to take a stab at the price: 1399 for this i7/16Gb/256gb. I love the thoughts behind this release. Certainly dig that this is becoming more and more mainstream.
@PatrickC1392 жыл бұрын
For the i7 i think it'll probably be around 700-800 but we'll see what happens.

I just bought the Vero 514 for €650 the normal price was €800 so I got €150 discount for the i7/16GB/256GB it was a good deal for me.

Picked up the i3 version this week... 8GB RAM with 256GB SSD. Very impressed with it. Very zippy, no lag at all. The i3 model (at least the one I have) does not have the finger print scanner (which I am fine with). The screen brightness and video quality is good, no complaints. When I first opened it up, I wasn't a fan of the look of the unit. But it's grown on me and I do like it! I do appreciate the fact that it is mostly made of recycled materials. Sound is decent. I like the backlit keyboard. Been able to play some games on it with zero issue (Minecraft, Hearthstone). Was able to grab this on sale for 399$ CAD at Staples. Overall, for the sale price this is a great computer to use and far surpassed a lot of the low-to-mid level Chromebooks. Highly recommend... AND.... updates through 2032!

I actually look the look of this thing. 499 for the best buy i3 model isn't too bad. i may very well consider that. i REALLY hope that the speakers have a bit more base to them though when the final one ships. I doubt it but I can be hopeful.

One year later, and their Spin 714 is the exact oposite to this. Plastic wrapping around box. Plastic wrapping around the plastic case which houses the chromebook which is again wrapped in plastic, witch a plastic sheet between the display and keyboard. The charger was also wrapped in plastic, same for the manual. Plastics everywhere.

I've just bought one of these and I'm very happy, one slight gripe is that if the keyboard is not lit up 100% it produces a high pitching coil wine, has anyone else experienced this at all? Thanks!
@MergeDroid4 ай бұрын
Yes, experiencing the same thing on a Vero 514 at the moment. No whine if the backlit keyboard is off or set to max. If in a room with any background noise unlikely to be too noticeable or such an issue. The one I'm testing is relatively early in the production run I believe (November '22) and I have the Core i7 with 8GB RAM. Out of interest, when was yours manufactured (date on the bottom of the Chromebook)?
@rossmpostpro4 ай бұрын
@@MergeDroid interesting to hear and thanks for your reply. Mine is the i5 model late June 2023, so not a batch issue. Bit of an annoying oversight. Fans can kick up a bit too and screen is very average but otherwise a decent product at the right price.
