Acer TravelMate P6 (TMP614-53) review – it weighs a bit over a kilo and it has a good cooling

Verdict

We like the Acer TravelMate P6 (TMP614-53) because it’s a compact and light machine but at the same time, its performance is also on point. The cooling system with two small fans and a duo of heat pipes gets the job done even in prolonged periods of 100% CPU load. Then, the optional Core i7-1355U can sustain high CPU clocks. We have tested a lot of machines with this processor and the Acer device is the first one that can maintain 2.63 GHz for the P cores in heavy loads. On top of that, we are talking about a 14-incher that performs better in some tests than other 16-inch laptops with the same team Blue chip.

The chassis is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy and it boasts a MIL-STD 810H certification but the lid is flexible. Still, the base is much more stable. The keyboard has a backlight and it’s pretty comfortable for work. We are blown away by the great touchpad with a glass surface and top-notch accuracy.

The machine has a lot of tricks up in its sleeve that can ease your life in the office. Unfortunately, most of the goodies are optional. Like the Acer Privacy Panel function that is also tied to the base 1200p display or the IR Web camera User Sensing technology. Still, the Dust Defender system is available for all users and with its aid, you don’t have to open the laptop regularly to clean the internals since the fans will blow out the dust automatically every day by spinning counterclockwise.

The default 1920×1200 IPS display (AUO B140UAN02.2 (AUO72A0)) is a nice surprise with its very good contrast ratio of 1850:1 and wide viewing angles. It’s PWM-free and thanks to our “Design and Gaming” profile, the color accuracy is enhanced to an average dE value of just 1.4 which is much better compared to the 4.4 out-of-the-box score. If you need a screen with a higher resolution, you can opt for the optional 2.8K OLED unit.

The I/O looks good with its two Thunderbolt 4 ports and MicroSD card reader. The memory is soldered but that’s something normal for a modern light and thin device. Unfortunately, there is just one M.2 slot for Gen 4 SSDs. The battery life is another key selling point of this machine. The 65W capacity is enough for 16 hours and 40 minutes of Web browsing, or 14 hours and 17 minutes of video playback. Still, we bought an Intel Evo-based laptop and this tech helps to improve the autonomous work. If you pick a machine without this certification and with an OLED display, maybe the battery life will be shorter.

The Acer TravelMate P6 (TMP614-53) is a powerful business device that weighs a bit over 1 kilo but it impresses us with its potent cooling, good comfort under load, and long battery life.
