Reviews for the Acer TravelMate P645-M-5420G12Tkk

78% Does what it claims to do very well indeed

The laptop sports great battery life lasting over 4 hours on benchmark test, which is indicative of up to 7-8 hours of real-world usage. The only downer was the laptop’s keyboard which had keys with very short travel, making fast typing a bit difficult. But we are truly nitpicking here. If you want a thin, ultraportable business laptop that looks fine and performs admirably, the Acer Travelmate P645 is worth considering.

Acer's TravelMate P645 is among the company's best laptops. It's a 14in Ultrabook with good style, a solid build, long battery life, and plenty of features. It could use more storage capacity, and its touchpad driver is quirky, but overall it's a useful and affordable laptop (depending on the configuration you choose).

Model: The Acer TravelMateP645-M-5420G12Tkk is a 14 inch ultrabook with ample of features and a solid build. It is powered by the Intel Core i5 -4200U CPU and supported by 4 GB RAM. In terms of storage, this ultrabook comes with a 120 GB Intel SSD which might not be enough for most users. The device weighs in at 1.5 kg which is relatively light to be lugged around. The weight is kept to a minimum with its carbon fibre lid and magnesium aluminum base and palm rest.

The touchpad on this model is of a good size and provides smooth operation. One small drawback of this model is that the screen is only capable of displaying at a maximum resolution of 1366 X 768 pixels, hence multi window multitasking would be quite difficult for certain users. On the other hand, the dedicated AMD Radeon HD 8750M graphics adapter comes in useful when plugging the ultrabook to an external display as it can display Full HD. There are three USB 3.0 ports, HDMI and VGA, Ethernet and an SD card slot. Battery life on this ultrabook is rated at 8 hours on a full charge with reduced brightness and light usage. In conclusion, this ultrabook is a suitable entry level model for a business laptop.

14.00":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Acer: In 1976, the company was founded in Taiwan under the name Multitech and was renamed Acer or Acer Group in 1987.

Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.


79%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
