An #Acer Chromebook and commercial monitor also earned awards
TAIPEI, TAIWAN (October 20, 2021) Several #Acer products earned 2021 Good #design Awards of Japan, including the #Acer Aspire Vero notebook as the company's first step towards pioneering a fully green PC. Awards were also received for a commercial docking display and a laptop for education, demonstrating the company's versatility and track record of producing high-quality products across a wide variety of segments and sectors.
The Good #design Award is a #design award from Japan that recognizes innovative designs capable of enriching peoples' lives. It screens a wide number of products in search of those which push the frontiers of what #design is capable of doing, then promotes these products to the world at large in order to foster the next waves of innovation. Ultimately, the award aims to help create a society "where everyone can lead a rich and creative life."
"It's exciting to see that our first iteration of the #Acer Aspire Vero, for which our objective was to achieve a balance of sustainability and stylish #design, has already earned such a prestigious award," said Tiffany Huang, Co-COO, #Acer Inc. "These Good #design awards add to the list of accolades earned by #Acer products in 2021, covering everything from packaging #design to commercial monitors and creator workstations."
Acer Aspire Vero Green Laptop
The first manifestation of Acer's Earthion mission, the Acer Aspire Vero is Acer's first step towards pioneering a fully green PC. These sustainable ideals are apparent throughout the laptop: Its chassis features 30% PCR (post-consumer recycled) plastic, it ships in award-winning 100% recyclable packaging, and its VeroSense™ software gives users control over their energy expenditure, letting them choose usage modes that optimize energy efficiency and battery life. Additionally, the laptop is easy to repair and upgrade.
Striking a balance between #design language that is both attractive and sustainable, the Aspire Vero achieves its iconic look by contrasting the chassis' natural grey color with a splattering of yellow pigment dots for accent—all paint-free. A textured surface makes the green PC easier to hold and helps it to further stand out in the crowd, while a laser-engraved finishing gives it a crisp and premium look, replacing most sticker labels in the process.
Acer Chromebook Spin 512
The Acer Chromebook Spin 512 is a Chromebook for education that has been designed from the bottom-up to fit into and enhance students' daily lives. This begins with a 3:2 aspect ratio display that offers 18% more vertical screen space than the more common 16:9 aspect ratio, letting students do more before needing to scroll. Furthermore, its convertible nature empowers students to adapt to the situation at hand: clamshell for taking notes, tablet mode for reading documents, tent mode for maximizing desk space and display mode for group work. The Chromebook also includes an 8 MP MIPI world-facing camera, enabling students to take pictures and record videos of their school projects.
Just as important but less visible, the Chromebook features Acer Antimicrobial Design, including an Antimicrobial[1] Corning® Gorilla® Glass display in addition to an antimicrobial solution on its keyboard, touchpad and palm-rest surface, helping to keep it clean even without special care or cleaning. From there, a number of thoughtful #design decisions helped earn the Chromebook a MIL-STD 810H[2] certification, so it can stand up to the wear and tear of daily student life.
