Reviews for the Acer TravelMate P645-S-530D

60% Acer TravelMate P645 (2015) review
Source: Techradar English Archive.org version
If your main concern is battery life, then you should totally spend almost $1,000 on this laptop. However, I highly doubt anyone really needs an extra hour or two of juice that badly. The P645 performs adequately, it looks okay and it's sturdy enough to withstand the bumps and thuds of constant travel. It's got so many ports that you'll be able to park yourself almost anywhere and get to work immediately. Unfortunately, what you do on this device won't be so pleasant. A wack HD screen and an inaccurate touchpad make for a clumsy and frustrating experience.

Model: The Acer TravelMate P645-S-530D not only looks professional but was designed with good battery life to ensure those long transits would be equally productive. The all black device comes with a solid chassis that looks clean and discreet. Even the top cover is kept simple with just a small Acer logo contrasting the matte black finish. There is a comfortable tile-style keyboard and a responsive touchpad aiding with on-the-go navigation. The Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 Professional 64-bit system comes with a 14 inch Full HD IPS display panel that produces vivid colors and sharp enough images. Brightness is considerably good and will be handy especially working outdoors under bright sunlight.

The capable machine comes with an Intel Core i5-5200U dual core processor clocked at 2.2 GHz, a maximum of 12 GB DDR3L RAM support, an Intel HD 5500 GPU with shared memory and an internal storage of 1 TB. The 1.6 kg device might seem a little bit weighted but it does contain features and functionality. On-board the laptop thre are a webcam, a fingerprint scanner, three USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI out and VGA out. The Acer TravelMate P645-S-530D comes with a 3-cell Lithium-Polymer battery rated at 4850 mAh. Users that give priority to battery life and don’t mind the tiny bit extra weight should definitely consider the purchase.

Intel HD Graphics 5500: Integrated graphics card (GT2) in the Core processors of the Broadwell U-series (15 W TDP). 

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

5200U: Broadwell-based ULV (ultra low voltage) dual-core processor for notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 5500 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

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. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors, TVs and computer peripherals. Since 2007, the group has merged with Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell, which also market their own laptop product lines.

Acer computers are designed for a variety of purposes, including ultrabooks for mobile use, gaming laptops for gamers, affordable options for everyday tasks, and 2-in-1 convertible laptops for versatility. Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.


60%: Such a poor rating is rare. There are only a few notebooks that were rated even worse. The rating websites do not give a purchase recommendation here.
