The Vero's i5-1235U processor provides good all-round performance. That's personal preference of course, but something we enjoy when tapping out our reviews. The keyboard could, perhaps, be a little firmer and the individual keys feel a little soft as you're typing - it's fine for quickly tapping out emails, but faster typists who do a lot of writing might prefer something that feels a little firmer and more responsive. The laptop is 20.5mm thick and weighs 1.4kg, so it's not quite in the 'ultra-portable' category, but it's still slim and light enough that you can quickly slip it into a backpack or bag when you're travelling, and sturdy enough to cope with a few bumps along the way. It's still solidly built - in fact, Acer states that it meets the US military standard MIL-STD-810H for shock-resistance, and resistance to dust, rain and other environmental mishaps. The Vero 514 is smartly designed, with an attractive speckled ‘cobblestone’ finish and - like other models in the Vero range - Acer claims that the main chassis consists of 30% recycled plastic, with 50% also in the keycaps and speakers.
