MagyarAcer TravelMate P4 in review: Business endurance runner with Thunderbolt 4
With the TravelMate P4 TMP414-51, Acer has a 14-inch mid-range business laptop in its lineup. The device is powered by a Core i5-1135G7 processor. Among its competitors we have devices like the Asus ExpertBook B1, the HP ProBook 440 G8, and the Lenovo ThinkPad E14 G3.

Case and connectivity - The Acer P4 comes with Thunderbolt 4
Acer has opted for a slim metal case that comes in a matte, dark blue (Slate Blue) color. The gap dimensions are appropriate, and sharp edges are not noticeable. The base unit and the lid can be twisted a bit - but the whole situation is completely within limits. The lid's maximum aperture angle is 180 degrees. The battery is firmly built into the device. There is no maintenance hatch.
The TravelMate's two USB-A ports operate according to the USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard. In addition, there is a USB-C Thunderbolt 4 slot that supports Power Delivery and DisplayPort per USB-C. Together with the HDMI output, the laptop has two video outputs. The microSD memory card reader (reference card: AV PRO microSD 128 GB V60) is among the slow models.
The Wi-Fi data rates determined under optimal conditions (no other Wi-Fi devices nearby, short distance between the laptop and the server PC) are generally okay, but they clearly lag behind the capabilities of the built-in Wi-Fi chip (Intel AX201).
Acer offers TravelMate variants that are equipped with an LTE modem. Our review sample is not one of them. Upgrading the device wouldn't be possible, since the necessary slot, the LTE antennas, and a SIM card slot are not present.

Input devices - The TravelMate features a backlit keyboard
The smooth keys of the backlit chiclet keyboard have a short travel and a clear pressure point. The keyboard yields minimally in the center when typing. It didn't prove to be bothersome, though. The single-level illumination is controlled with a function key. Acer delivers a keyboard suitable for everyday use here.
A multitouch-capable ClickPad (approx. 10.5 x 6.5 cm) serves as mouse replacement, and its smooth surface makes it easy for fingers to glide on it. The pad also responds to inputs in the corners. It has a short travel and a clear pressure point.
Display - IPS on board
While the matte 14-inch display (1920x1080 pixels) delivers a good contrast (1,241:1), the brightness (263.7 cd/m²) is too low. We consider values beyond 300 cd/m² to be good. PWM flickering was not detected.

The display shows a decent color reproduction out of the box, but colors deviate a bit from the target - this isn't noticeable, though. The display can't reproduce the AdobeRGB (41%), sRGB (59%), and DCI-P3 (40%) color spaces.

Performance - The Acer laptop is unable to deliver its full potential
With the TravelMate P4, Acer offers a 14-inch business laptop that provides enough computing power for office and Internet applications.
Test conditions
The TravelMate doesn't provide any manufacturer-specific energy profiles. The Windows standard profile "Balanced" was used. No other profiles are available nor can they be generated.
Processor
The Core i5-1135G7 quad-core processor (Tiger Lake) operates at a base clock speed of 2.4 GHz. An increase to 3.8 GHz (all cores) and up to 4.2 GHz (one core) is possible via Turbo. Hyper-Threading (two threads per core) is supported.
The multithread test of the Cinebench R15 benchmark is run at 3.3 to 3.8 GHz for a short time, after which the clock rate drops to between 3 and 3.2 GHz. The single-thread test is processed at 1.6 to 4.2 GHz. The clock rates are considerably lower on battery power.
We verify if the CPU Turbo is also consistently used when plugged in by running the Cinebench R15 benchmark's multithread test in a continuous loop for at least 30 minutes. Turbo can only operate at a high level for a short time. The work rates of some CPU cores are throttled to values below the base clock speed quite quickly.

System performance
The fast and smooth system didn't present any problems. The CPU provides enough power for office and Internet applications. The PCMark results are good. However, Acer allows part of the performance to go to waste, since RAM is only running in single-channel mode. Dual-channel mode can be enabled by installing a second memory module.

Graphics card
Intel's Iris Xe Graphics G7 80EU GPU achieves clock speeds of up to 1,300 MHz, which can be maintained for a prolonged period of time (see our The Witcher 3 test). The TravelMate is not a gaming laptop. Nevertheless, the installed hardware can run some games smoothly - at low resolutions and low quality settings. Titles with moderate hardware requirements allow for more.
The GPU remains clearly below its capabilities as a comparison with the benchmark results of the Asus ExpertBook B1 that is equipped with the same CPU-GPU combination shows. Both devices come with single-channel memory.
Enabling dual-channel mode (= installing a second RAM module) would have a positive impact. In that case, the GPU would deliver significantly better results in the 3DMark benchmarks as well as in the gaming tests, which are in part slightly above the average of the iGPU determined so far (see comparison tables).

Emissions and energy - The TMP414 doesn't lack endurance
Noise emissions
In everyday use (office, Internet), the fan is often idle and silence prevails. During the stress test, the sound pressure level increases to up to 37.4 dB(A) - not exactly an outstanding rate. The competition delivers better rates in some cases. Overall, the P4 doesn't produce an excessive amount of noise, even over the entire load range.

Temperature
The 14-incher only heats up to a small extent overall. The case gets a bit warmer at certain points when the hardware is under heavy load, but the chassis is generally warm to the touch. The CPU temperatures are no cause for concern.
At the beginning of the stress test (Prime95 and FurMark run for at least an hour), the CPU runs at 3.5 to 3.9 GHz. As the test progresses, the clock rate drops to between 1.3 and 2.8 GHz. The graphics core's clock rate drops from 1,300 MHz to about 1,050 MHz. The stress test represents an extreme scenario. With this test, we check whether the system remains stable under full load.
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 38.7 °C / 102 F, compared to the average of 34.2 °C / 94 F, ranging from 21.2 to 62.5 °C for the class Office.
(+) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 38.7 °C / 102 F, compared to the average of 36.7 °C / 98 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 25.2 °C / 77 F, compared to the device average of 29.5 °C / 85 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 26.2 °C / 79.2 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(±) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 27.7 °C / 81.9 F (+1.5 °C / 2.7 F).

Pros
Cons
Verdict - Solid business companion
A Core i5-1135G7 processor, 8 GB of RAM (single-channel mode, two memory slots), and a 256 GB NVMe SSD equip the laptop for office and Internet use. Positive: The 14-incher produces little noise overall and hardly heats up.
Acer delivers a solid, mobile work device with the TravelMate P4.
The laptop isn't made for sustained high performance. The Core i5 processor responds to brief load peaks with a lot of computing power, but it has to throttle its speed during longer periods of load.
A weight of about 1.4 kg and real-world battery runtimes of about 10 hours make the TravelMate a mobile companion. Good: Not only can the laptop be powered using the included proprietary power adapter, but also with a universal USB power adapter (via the USB-C port).
The display (Full HD, IPS) scores points with stable viewing angles, good contrast, a matte surface, and decent color reproduction. The brightness and color-space coverage offer room for improvement. A business laptop should do better in these areas.
The Lenovo ThinkPad E14 G3 could be an alternative to the TravelMate. It offers much more computing power, room for two SSDs, and much longer battery life. The ThinkPad doesn't have a Thunderbolt 4 slot, though. And there's no LTE modem optionally available, either.
Price and availability
You can find the Acer TravelMate P4 in the configuration that we tested but with 512 GB of storage instead of 256 (Core i5-1135G7, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD) on Amazon for $849.99.
