The new TravelMate P4 Series of thin-and-light business laptops include a 14-inch convertible design, as well as 14- and 16-inch clamshell models, all with new performance, security, and device management features to support professionals and IT technicians.

The 2-in-1 Acer TravelMate P4 Spin 14 (TMP414RN-54) allows users to effortlessly switch between various tasks and modes and take advantage of its portability weighing just 1.49 kg and 21.9 mm thin. It gets a performance boost with up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor 165U^[1] with built-in Intel Graphics and Intel vPro Enterprise eligibility, and long battery life^[2,3] for efficient work sessions plus fast charging capability when needed.

All the TravelMate P4 Series devices are designed to withstand the rigors of daily wear and tear without impeding performance. Their military-grade durability compliance^[4] does just that and Acer Dust Defender helps minimize dust buildup internally that can be a cause of slowdown. Device protection extends even further with all devices equipped with discrete TMP 2.0, privacy shutters and fingerprint readers for secured logins, and an optional Smartcard reader for the TravelMate P4 models.

Enhanced with AI Features

Each of the TravelMate business laptops is equipped with new AI features for collaboration and creation, collated in the Acer Experience Zone on the TravelMateSense application. Creative professionals can leverage Acer LiveArt which helps to instantly remove the background of an image^[8] with people, animals and objects and generate depth maps on 2D images. With GIMP and Intel Stable Diffusion plugin^[9], they can also generate illustrations and images with just a few clicks and simple text input.

These TravelMate products also ship with the new Acer PurifiedView 2.0, which utilizes the NPU to offload AI-accelerated applications to optimize power consumption and create smoother experiences when videoconferencing and live streaming experiences with Background Blur, Automatic Framing, and Eye Contact to make users look their best at all times. The devices also enable Acer PurifiedVoice with AI Noise Reduction to actively suppress background noise for clearer audio.

Pre-installed Business Support Solutions

Acer's suite of commercial solutions supports entrepreneurs and business owners to manage business functions and safeguard vital information. With the new TravelMateSense software, user can optimize, tailor, and access support systems on their laptops with one click of the TravelMateSense key. "Workflow" consolidates all the functions users may need in different work scenarios (Meeting, Away, and Work) and can be further customized based on specific preferences. "Secure Guard" provides a range of security-related features, including USB Device Filter, Personal Secure Drive, File Secure, and Dynamic Lock to keep the TravelMate devices safe from potential threats. With "Checkup", users can examine the health of vital device components such as storage, RAM, and battery health which comes with a guide to perform calibrations for battery charging optimization. Further configurations on the system such as performance and charging modes, screen settings, and the DustDefender function are available along with an overview system status window on the home page for a real-time status report on the TravelMate devices.

Acer Office Manager is useful since it allows offices without dedicated IT staff to poll data, centralize resources and monitor IT assets in one portal. Safeguarding critical data is also made easier as Acer ProShield Plus integrates multiple security and management features in a single-client console.
