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

    Max CPU load

    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.

    Thanks to the cooling with two fans, the Core i7-1355U can maintain 2.63 GHz for the P cores and 1.90 GHz for the E cores alongside a 28W power limit in longer stress. That’s a very impressive result. In addition, the CPU temperature is also good.

    Gaming comfort

    You can hear the fans when the processor is under serious load but they aren’t noisy at all. If you don’t need the full CPU power, you can switch down to “Normal” or “Silent” mode which offers less noise. During max processor load, the keyboard feels a bit warm in the center and on the left side but it doesn’t feel hot to the touch which is okay for normal work.

    Battery

    Now, we conduct the battery tests 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. This notebook’s 65Wh battery lasts for 16 hours and 40 minutes of Web browsing, or 14 hours and 17 minutes of video playback. That’s a great result! To achieve that, you have to apply the “Balanced” preset in the Windows “Power & Battery” menu and select the “Normal mode” in the Acer Quick Access app.
