Reviews for the Acer TravelMate P236-M-57R4
Basic business partner. A price of 700 Euros (~$761) places Acer's new TravelMate P236 in the mid-range of business laptops. Since time is money, components with a decent speed ensure a smooth workflow. However, the TrackPad's handling rapidly slows down the work speed.

For instance, the few things we didn’t like in the new TravelMate are the port placement and the touchpad. Otherwise, despite the thin profile (19.65 mm), compact looks, and only 1.5 kg of weight, the TravelMate P236 shows great performance capabilities and extraordinary cooling system, which does not affect user experience and most improtantly – keeps the internals cool without sacrificing performance.
