Acer TravelMate P2 TMP215 (15.6-Inch, 2020)

Powerful processor ; Easy to upgrade ; Decent battery life

Low-performance GPU ; Pre-installed bloatware ; Cheap screen

An inexpensive option for those that want a performance laptop and like to upgrade lower specification machines cheaply. Shame Acer insisted on putting bloatware on it to annoy its customers.

Like the battery life and its fairly easy to set up for a non tech person like myself. I've had Acers before and was keen to stick to the brand. The screen seems to be clearer than my old model and it certainly works quickly.

Not really. I use a separate keyboard so the key backlight issue others have complained about isn't an issue for me.

Does what it says on the.....

On/off button could be better marked.

Lightweight, keyboard lighting,design, fast.

Sound.

It’s robust and it performs very well. It’s great to have multiple tabs open and ideal for a someone who uses this daily and is also on the go.

None really except to make it lighter on your next version/model. Overall no complaints.

This is a fantastic laptop and excellent value for money. The model number is wrong, it’s actually TMP215-53. The main difference is this now has a Thunderbolt 4 port which makes a massive difference at this price point. The bag of electronic bits...

Slightly bigger numberpad and SD card slot which it has is a pain to use it’s a little too recessed.
