The порнография молодые аргентинкиjourney of Acer's latest eco-conscious laptop begins in the brackish waters near its home base in Taiwan.
The tech company announced on Monday a next-generation Aspire Vero 16 that's made partially out of oyster shells, which have been cleaned, crushed, and mixed with a blend of more than 70 percent post-consumer recycled plastic. (You best believe it's a world's first.) Acer showcased the PC ahead of CES 2025, and it'll be available for purchase this April starting at $799.99.

(The last iteration was made from 60 percent recycled plastic.)

All things considered, we're jonesing to test it: Its predecessor's battery and performance kind of shucked.
