Acer TravelMate P256-M review

 

The TravelMate P256-M is a functional desktop replacement, and the decent port offerings and a sizeable keyboard make it a reasonable choice for any small business. However, its bulky design, slightly dull display and unresponsive track pad diminish...

Wealth of ports, decent keyboard, positive security additions

Heavy and bulky design, dull screen, unresponsive trackpad

Acer TravelMate P256-M-39NG Notebook Review

 

Full HD Premium. Acer attracts a lot of office users with its conservative, yet solid and powerful notebooks. Usually, the price-performance ratio is just right, but for this to be true for our test model, which uses the Intel Core i3-4005U and a Full...

Various configurations are available, Solid case for office use, DVD burner, if needed, Good keyboard, Great touchpad, Quiet, Cool, Very long battery life, Two power adapters

Very expensive, Ports at the front, Demanding applications or a lot of multitasking will overtax the laptop, Poor contrast and colors, Somewhat blurry fonts, HDD in too slow in the 4k tests

The Acer TravelMate P256-M-39NG is available for 600 Euros (~$748), which means it is maybe a 100 Euros (~$125) too expensive. The Full HD panel is not so amazing that we can justify an additional 200 Euros (~$250) for it, especially with weaknesses...

Very convenient for travel

 

I bought this a couple of weeks ago and am now using it on a business trip in Peru. It's got a very good battery life and I am finding it very handy to use during my travel.

Excellent budget computer

 

An excellent machine with a very comfortable keyboard. The 15.6 inch screen is good too.\nI only have 1 criticism and that is the omission of a small LED light to indicate when Caps Lock or Num Lock have been engaged.\nI would recommend this computer...

Quirky

 

An odd laptop with a numeric keypad as well as the querty, which makes the keys quite small for me and awkward to use. The mouse pad is very large and rocks from side to side for right and left click, again rather odd. It does not seem particularly...

Quick and Simple

 

Tesco were fantastic as usual and delivered for free to my local store with great communication and timing. The laptop itself seems to be great and is easy to set up. I've only had it a few days but so far so good!

The texting is very good both from the fact that you can speak to txt and the pop up facility to allow you to choose words is excellent. No

Acer TravelMate P256 NX.V9MEK.005

 

nice piece of kit with good size keyboard and full size keypad. Fast, plenty of memory and hdd storage, hdd is already partitioned for c: and d: drives which is useful. Graphics are good as is the display. Its a comfortable size.

Built in Bluetooth is smart version4 and is mostly incompatible with existing version 3/4 devices. Although claimed to be backwardly compatible, it supports (in some cases) discoverability but generally not services. Might be possible to downgrade the...
