Reviews for the Acer TravelMate P2 TMP216-51

The Acer TravelMate P2 (TMP216-51-G2) offers enough power for daily or office tasks. However, all CPU options lack a dedicated NPU unit for accelerated AI productivity. Aside from that, the overall performance is good. In our case, the Core i5-1334U P and E cores boost to ~ 2.86 GHz / 2.10 GHz even when the chip is pushed to its limits. That’s more than enough for normal work. The comfort is also adequate, the board doesn’t feel hot to the touch and the fan isn’t intrusively loud. Still, the thermal system is a bit downgraded compared to the 2023 version – it lacks one heat pipe. The 1200p IPS panel is typical for a budget workhorse. It’s a PWM-free screen with wide viewing angles and 315 nits of max brightness.

The TravelMate P2 is nothing if not good value, giving you a big screen and a comfortable working experience for under £750 if you stick to the Core i5 version. It's not perfect, and buyers will have to live with a screen with mediocre color performance, a single USB Type-C port, the 720p webcam, and unimpressive battery life. As a mostly desk-based productivity machine, these faults are far from fatal, and the low cost and sheer usability makes up for a lot. However, there are key areas like the keyboard and the battery life where Lenovo's similar ThinkPad E16 comes out on top, while not being substantially more expensive.

The Acer TravelMate P2 (TMP216-51) is a surprisingly good laptop. Its build quality is not the best but the device can offer long battery life and great CPU clocks under heavy loads. The cooling solution with just one fan and two heat pipes seems enough for a 28W CPU limit during longer processor stress and that’s a very good result. The Acer TravelMate P2 (TMP216-51) doesn’t cost a lot and it amazes us with its long battery life, high CPU frequencies, and great upgradability.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
