The Acer Aspire Vero is pretty typical for a budget-to-mid-range design, omitting such niceties as a touchscreen or a face-scanning webcam. But with a 13th-gen 10-core Intel processor, 16GB of DDR5 RAM (the minimum I would recommend for Windows 11), and 512GB of storage, it's got more than enough juice to power through standard student and office tasks. You can upgrade that RAM and storage fairly easily, by the way, which is great to see. With integrated Iris Xe graphics, it can handle some light gaming, too, but don't throw anything Randy Pitchford made at it.
While 15.6 inches for the 1080p screen is on the larger side, that extra space means you have room for plenty of ports, including double USB-C, double USB-A, and full-sized HDMI (handy for using the TV in a hotel room). It also has a full-sized keyboard with a number pad and a fingerprint reader. But I think the most appealing thing about this thing is the color—the recycled plastic shell comes in a speckled dark green that looks really distinctive for a budget design. The 50-watt-hour battery should last through a cross-country flight, though probably not a full 12-hour day of work and doomscrolling.
