About this deal

This time we have in front of us the Acer TravelMate P2 (TMP215-53) and it looks almost identical to the Acer TravelMate P2 (TMP215-52) that we have reviewed in 2020. As a TravelMate device, this one should be a laptop on the go, even Acer is describing it as “for the professional on the road”. So, we’ll see how portable and capable this device is. The TravelMate P2 from Acer is a rugged business laptop, equipped with a range of useful features to help keep your business running smoothly. Looking for affordable quality for work or play? Look at our fantastic selection of Acer laptops. A full HD screen means you won't be compromising when it comes to visuals—and we have a host of budget-friendly, high-quality gaming models in our range as well. Or how about one of our ASUS laptops? We've got you covered with an array of screen sizes, like our 17-inch laptops. While some designs come with a handy laptop bag included, providing an ideal home for your laptop while you're traveling or commuting to and from work. When you want a super sleek working companion there’s nothing better than a Yoga Slim Lenovo laptop. Don’t go by its size, this powerful model features an AMD Ryzen 7 Processor with amazing performance, battery life, stunning visuals, and many other smart features.

That relatively low pricing hints that these machines aren’t sophisticated designs, constructed largely of plastic and polycarbonate, and the components, such as the screen, aren’t of the highest specification. Striking the perfect balance between perfomance& efficency, TravelMate series notebooks are reliable learning companions powerful enough to handle most workloads. Accidents can happen both in and out of the office, which is why the TravelMate P2 is tested and certified to meet US Military standard MIL-STD 810H for durability. This helps protects it against a variety of mishaps, which in turn reduces the risk of costly and disruptive repairs impacting your business.With so much mass involved, at least those designing it kept a reasonable balance between the display and base so that it's stable even if the screen is angled extremely.

The performance offered on this machine is something of a mixed bag. We’ve previously tested other machines using the same Core i5-1235U and got better scores than these, and the difference may be down to the memory specs. If that’s one of the best, the worst is undoubtedly the screen. We’re unsure what the exact technology used in the display is, but it is not bright, and the viewing angles aren’t great, suggesting that it isn’t an IPS screen.What’s interesting is that the Windows Experience Index number and the PCMark 10 scores are decent, and with a faster SSD, these would be even better. We are in the budget category and it’s not a surprise that this laptop has an all-plastic build. The chassis isn’t the most rigid one that we have tested – the whole base is a bit bendable if you apply some force on purpose. On the bright side, the laptop weighs 1.80 kilos and the profile is 19.9mm. In terms of hardware, everything looks alright – we have a bunch of Intel Tiger Lake-UP3 CPUs and some iGPUs for the people who don’t need additional graphics power. With the TravelMate P2, it has never been easier to work away from the office. Step up your productivity through a combination of increased processing power, portability, and durability bundled with a wide range of handy business features and advanced connectivity options. For the professional on the road, there's no better choice. One curiosity is the screen hinges that tease that they might be fully reversible but aren’t. These hinges do allow the screen to fold flat, travelling 180 degrees from the close position to fully extended. Not sure what the value is in this much rotation, but it’s what it can do.

While the Iris Xe 80EU GPU is better than the dire UHD Graphics that older Intel processors offered, the 96EU version used on the Intel Core i7-1260P and Core i7-1195G7 is twice as fast when pushed by a Core-i7 class processor.

Installing our Health-Guard profile not only eliminates PWM but also reduces the harmful Blue Light emissions while keeping the colors of the screen perceptually accurate. If you’re not familiar with the Blue light, the TL;DR version is – emissions that negatively affect your eyes, skin, and your whole body. You can find more information about that in our dedicated article on Blue Light. ConclusionUpgradability-wise, this is the area where this laptop shines bright. It has two SODIMMs, one M.2 slot, and a SATA slot. Moreover, the I/O is good given the end price of the machine – it has three USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) ports and a USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 2) with DisplayPort and Power Delivery capabilities. Oh, yes, and a VGA port! Based on the latest Intel Core processors and equipped with up to 16GB of DDR3L memory, TravelMate P2 notebooks can effortlessly handle common school tasks. Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced. In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering. Upgrade timing may vary by device. Features and app availability may vary by region. Certain features require specific hardware (see https://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-11-specifications).

Not responsible for pricing or other typographical or photographical errors or omissions. Pictures may differ from the offer.However, there is one aspect of the P2 we didn’t care for, and that was the liberal plastering of bloatware on the Windows 11 installation. Customers should therefore budget an afternoon to strip the machine of everything they didn’t pay for so they can use the one thing they did. Accessing this laptop’s internals is a relatively easy job. First, you need to undo 12 Phillips-head screws. Then, pry the bottom panel away with a plastic tool and you’re ready for taking off. One side note to our internal investigations was the battery, the one that Acer claims is 56 Whr. Based on a quoted voltage and amperage printed on the battery, our maths says 54.5 Whr is a more accurate number.
