the whole vero back-to-nature eco-friendly biz is bogus, esp given all the cardboard the laptop is packed in, and don't get me started on the two reverse-labeled keyboard keys. regardless, lots to like .. so much that i just threw down for a 4th try at getting a good machine. fool me once, fool me twice, fool me thrice .... fool me four times? we shall see!
btw / the three i bought previously ranged in price from $450 to $550, so at $520 the current price strikes a basically okay medium. the deals have been posted here before, without getting much love, for reasons unknown to me. i doubt this time will be different but, again, we shall see.

- the recycled plastic material creaked a lot every time I touched it. The chassis quality was lower than a cheap 3D print.
- the plastic was rough like 300 grit sandpaper.
- the fan vent was located between the keyboard and screen, facing upwards. I can't imagine how that would affect the screen over a few years.
- the fan was always on and loud, very loud. I measured it to be from 78 to 92 decibels at all times.
I was hoping they would figure out a solution or scrap the design, but it sounds like they didn't.
