Acer Vero – a new generation of eco-friendly projectors
Alongside the laptops, Acer introduced new projectors: the Vero XL2320p, Vero XL2521, and Vero SL2520n. These are laser-based models that operate without mercury, making them safer and more environmentally friendly. They offer a lifespan of up to 30,000 hours and consume 40% less energy compared to traditional lamp-based projectors. The short-throw Vero SL2520n can produce a 100-inch image from just 1.1 meters away.
The projectors support up to Full HD resolution, offer 4,000 ANSI lumens of brightness, and a 50,000:1 contrast ratio. They can operate in vertical orientation, support 360-degree projection, portrait mode, and feature advanced 2D and four-corner keystone correction. They also have dust protection rated at IP6X. All models include HDMI ports, while the Vero SL2520n additionally provides Ethernet connectivity.
For user convenience, the projectors include specialized display modes – “Football” for the XL2 series and “Golf” for the SL2520n. They are equipped with built-in 15-watt speakers. As with other products in the Vero lineup, up to 50% of the construction uses recycled plastic, and the packaging is fully recyclable.
New Acer Chromebox
At IFA 2025, Acer introduced two desktop solutions running ChromeOS. These are aimed at school labs, small and medium-sized businesses, customer service areas in lobbies or offices, and retail environments where they can be used for information kiosks or digital displays. Both Chromebox models can be mounted on the back of a monitor using an optional VESA mounting kit or set up as standalone units.
The Acer Chromebox CXI6 stands out for its compact design and provides the essentials for smooth and reliable ChromeOS performance. It is powered by an Intel Core 7 150U processor and features five USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, an additional USB 3.2 Type-C port, and two HDMI outputs, supporting up to four independent displays. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6E and a 2.5G LAN port for fast internet access.
The other model, the Acer Chromebox Mini CXM2, is designed for users seeking an even more compact option. Its fanless design allows for nearly silent operation while minimizing space usage.
