Design of Veriton 2800 Desktop PC

Veriton 2800 is the first lead-free commercial desktop PC from Acer. Other environmental design features help save resources and energy, and decrease noise level in the work environment. In terms of resource conservation, Veriton 2800's compact design makes its volume 30% smaller and weight 1.6 kg less (including packaging materials) than its predecessor. As a result, the finished product saves 40% on raw material use.

Due to the compact size, far fewer packaging materials are used, which in turn saves on energy use and transportation cost. A 40 cubic feet container is now able to accommodate 768 boxes of the Veriton 2800.

In terms of energy conservation, power consumption in suspended mode meets the EU Eco-label standard of 4W. The Veriton 2800 is markedly more energy efficient than its predecessors. Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) during idle has jumped from 76.9% to 81.54%, and EER during operation has increased from 76.2% to 80.99%.

In terms of noise, mechanics have been redesigned and conventional application of components has been modified to make use of heat convection principles and intelligent space design. This eliminates the need for a high power fan, which usually generates noise. Noise from the Veriton 2800 at idle status is measured at 29.5dB, which meets the EU Eco-label standard of 40dB.
