Acer TravelMate P2 TMP215 (15.6-Inch, 2020)

Powerful processor ; Easy to upgrade ; Decent battery life

Low-performance GPU ; Pre-installed bloatware ; Cheap screen

An inexpensive option for those that want a performance laptop and like to upgrade lower specification machines cheaply. Shame Acer insisted on putting bloatware on it to annoy its customers.

smaller and lighter than last generation P2510;lightweight for its budget category;quiet during low to medium loads;can recharge via USB-C;relatively inexpensive;integrated VGA port;webcam shutter;optional 4G LTE

pulse-width modulation present on almost all brightness levels;no Ice Lake or Ryzen options;average contrast ratio;narrow color space;cramped NumPad;no IR camera

Decent upgradability with PCIe x4 drive support;Keyboard has backlight;Wide viewing angles and good contrast ratio;Optional fingerprint reader;Very I/O options and USB Type-C port with DisplayPort and Power Delivery capabilities

Covers only 50% of sRGB;Uses harmful PWM for all brightness levels, except the maximum (our Health-Guard profile fixes the issue);Keyboard is uncomfortable for typing;Our unit had severe performance issues, resulting in 20-30% CPU usage and 0.6-1.00...

Like the battery life and its fairly easy to set up for a non tech person like myself. I've had Acers before and was keen to stick to the brand. The screen seems to be clearer than my old model and it certainly works quickly.

Not really. I use a separate keyboard so the key backlight issue others have complained about isn't an issue for me.

Does what it says on the.....

On/off button could be better marked.

Lightweight, keyboard lighting,design, fast.

Sound.

It’s robust and it performs very well. It’s great to have multiple tabs open and ideal for a someone who uses this daily and is also on the go.

None really except to make it lighter on your next version/model. Overall no complaints.

This is a fantastic laptop and excellent value for money. The model number is wrong, it’s actually TMP215-53. The main difference is this now has a Thunderbolt 4 port which makes a massive difference at this price point. The bag of electronic bits...

Slightly bigger numberpad and SD card slot which it has is a pain to use it’s a little too recessed.
