Product Information

This version of the Travelmate P2 had some highs and a few lows, but most models are good value for money, considering the functionality and performance offered and the price asked. 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. Acer TravelMate P2 (TMP215-53) has a Full HD IPS panel with a model number BOE NV156FHM-N48. Its diagonal is 15.6″ (39.62 cm), and the resolution is 1920 х 1080 pixels. The screen ratio is 16:9, and we are looking at a pixel density of – 142 ppi, and a pitch of 0.18 х 0.18 mm. The screen turns into Retina when viewed at distance equal to or greater than 60cm (24″) (from this distance one’s eye stops differentiating the separate pixels, and it is normal for looking at a laptop). 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). 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.

Say goodbye to clunky video conferencing. With advanced Intel Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology, you can enjoy a smoother wireless experience with faster speeds than standard Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac).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. Its lid cannot be opened with a single hand and it flexes like soft mozzarella. On the bright side, the camera has a hardware shutter, which will protect you from spying eyes, and the bezels are thin-enough for the laptop to look pretty modern. In short, the Travelmate P2 was built to a price, but that cost looks reasonable value for money when you look at the part specifications. 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 cover repair or replacement costs for a fixed period of 24 months after the expiry of the manufacturers warranty. The measured maximum brightness of 217 nits in the middle of the screen and 213 nits as an average for the whole area, with a maximum deviation of 11%. The Correlated Color Temperature on a white screen is 6280K – a little warmer than the sRGB standard of 6500K. 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.As we’ll talk about later, upgrading the SSD and RAM on these machines is possible, which might save you money over having lots of either item pre-installed.

In the American SKUs of the Travelmate P2, we noticed a few machines with discrete Nvidia GeForce MX330. That would make a modest difference to graphics performance, and probably a better choice would be an AMD Ryzen-based P2 with its faster integrated Radeon RX Vega 7 or 8 Graphics. 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. ConclusionTake your workday productivity to new heights with the TravelMate P2. Combining processing power, portability and durability, and with a range of handy business features and connectivity options, it's everything a professional laptop should be.
