The Vero 514 isn't quite that fast but will be perfectly fine for routine tasks such as web browsing, word processing, or streaming music and video.
That's a little below the performance of the Chromebook 516 GE, which scored 14 respectively, but the gaming-oriented 516 GE is more expensive and boasts four performance cores in order to speed up your gaming action. Running the GeekBench 5 test, the Vero scores 1480 for single-core performance and 5400 for multi-core performance. It includes 10 processor cores, with two 'performance' cores that run at speeds of up to 4.4GHz and eight 'efficiency' cores that run at up to 3.3GHz in order to preserve battery life.
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.
