Acer Travelmate Pro (TMP645-MG-9419) review: This mild-mannered case conceals a powerful laptop
Acer TravelMate Pro (Model P645-MG-9419)
$1,300.00
For individual business users,
this laptop offers a nice blend of modern features and solid
performance. It's not stylish, but its input ergonomics are very good.
If you want to work incognito at the coffee shop, or blend discreetly
into in the boardroom, Acer’s squarish, matte-black TravelMate Pro is
the laptop to use. It doesn’t flip, fold, detach, or do any other fancy
tricks. But staid is as staid does. The TravelMate Pro is light, rugged,
secure, and fast. It has a vivid display with discrete AMD graphics,
and it runs for nearly 6 hours on a single charge. It’s also cheaper
than much of its business-oriented competition.Acer
sent us the TMP645-MG-9419 version of the Travelmate Pro, and that’s
the last time I’ll mention the entire model name. Acer’s naming
convention—and its website, with dozens of slightly different models—are
needlessly confusing and need fixing. The Travelmate Pro Acer sent came
outfitted with an Intel Core i7-4500u, 8GB of DDR3/1600 memory, a
discrete AMD Radeon HD 8750M graphics processor, and a 256GB Toshiba
SSD. Read More
