日本Top 5 reasons to BUY or NOT to buy the Acer TravelMate P4 (TMP414-51)
When you think of business laptops, Acer doesn’t come to mind as often as it should. While the market looks to be dominated by Lenovo’s ThinkPad and Dell’s Latitude lineups, Acer has silently prepared a device that can rival the best of the competition. The device in question is the Acer TravelMate P4 (TMP414-51). It comes in a popular 14-inch size and has everything to make it one of the best. We are talking about Tiger Lake internals along with a strong chassis that has passed the United States military standard test with flying colors.
Today we are presenting you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the Acer TravelMate P4 (TMP414-51).
Acer TravelMate P4 (TMP414-51): Full Specs / In-depth Review
4 reasons to BUY the Acer TravelMate P4 (TMP414-51)
1. The Design and build quality
The design here is very sophisticated and grown-up. The designers at Acer definitely did a good job to implement both functionality and good looks when making the exterior of the device. Its straight edges make it surprisingly easy to carry around and its size and weight are very manageable, weighing only 1.41 kg and being just 17.9 mm thick. The body is made entirely out of plastic, but it is surprisingly rigid and can withstand flex. The laptop has also passed the MIL-STD-810H test for durability.
The lid, while being made from 100% aluminum, is bendier than we expected, and it doesn’t open with a single hand. Twisting it resulted in ghosting and color-shifting that was quite severe. It is generally the only negative about the design of the device.
2. The Input devices
The keyboard and touchpad on this laptop are fantastic. To start off with the keyboard – it has spill resistance and a backlight, which make it perfect for work sessions during the night. Furthermore, it has clicky feedback, but the key travel is rather short. The whole package provides a comfortable typing experience.
Moving over to the touchpad, it is completely covered in Gorilla Glass, and this gives it some of the best gliding and tracking that we have seen in a touchpad. The only caveat is the size, as more and more business laptops get bigger and bigger touchpads, the TravelMate looks like is still stuck in 2018.
3. The Battery life
The laptop comes with a 56Wh battery unit which endured through 11 hours and 31 minutes of Web browsing and 8 hours and 47 minutes of video playback. The test was conducted with the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits, and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with.

4. The I/O and features
The laptop comes with support for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 along with a power button with an integrated fingerprint reader and optional LTE support. The I/O is also quite stacked with a total of three USB ports (one Type-C with Thunderbolt 4 support and two Type-A 3.2 Gen. 2 ports). Furthermore, you get an HDMI and RJ-45 connector, along with a MicroSD card reader and an optional Smart Card reader, places on the front.

1. The Display
The display of choice is a 14-inch Full HD IPS panel with comfortable viewing angles and a maximum brightness of 250 nits and a deviation of 11%. The contrast ratio is also quite high (1450:1). The panel covers only 52% of the sRGB color gamut or just half of the colors on the Internet.
In terms of color accuracy, both with the stock settings and with our Gaming and web design profile, we couldn’t bring it to a value that is within the standard. Below you can see the results of the test, with both the factory settings (left) and with our “Gaming and web design” profile applied (right).

Office Work
Office Work moet vooral worden gebruikt door gebruikers die de meeste tijd besteden aan het bekijken van stukken tekst, tabellen of gewoon surfen. Dit profiel is gericht op het leveren van een betere helderheid en duidelijkheid door het behouden van een vlakke gammacurve (2.20), native kleurtemperatuur en perceptueel accurate kleuren.
Ontwerp en spel
Dit profiel is gericht op ontwerpers die beroepsmatig met kleuren werken, en ook voor games en films. Design and Gaming brengt beeldschermen tot het uiterste en maakt ze zo nauwkeurig mogelijk in de sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standaard voor Web en HDTV, bij witpunt D65.
Health-Guard
Health-Guard elimineert de schadelijke Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) en vermindert het negatieve Blauwe Licht dat onze ogen en ons lichaam aantast. Omdat het op maat is gemaakt voor elk paneel, slaagt het erin de kleuren perceptueel nauwkeurig te houden. Health-Guard simuleert papier zodat de druk op de ogen sterk wordt verminderd.
