Reviews for the Acer TravelMate P4 Spin 14 TMP414RN-54
Source: PC World
The Acer TravelMate Spin P4 is a decent pick for professionals and prosumers looking to buy a 14-inch Windows 2-in-1. Though not great for tablet use, it’s still an enjoyable laptop with a good keyboard, plenty of physical connectivity, a bundled active stylus, and acceptable battery life. It’s not very quick for the price and the display could be better. However, these flaws also tend to be found in price-competitive business laptops. The Spin P4 isn’t a laptop that will get anyone excited, but it gets the job done at a modest price.

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.

72.5%: 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.
