Review Acer TravelMate P653 Notebook

Office and more. Acer's new Travelmate P653 is supposed to appeal to customers that require a multifaceted notebook for a reasonable price of 799 Euro. It has a focus on office use and on multimedia features. Whether the P653 really provides the whole...

Solid construction ; Pleasant haptics ; Good input devices ; Restrained cooling fan ; Pleasant surface temperatures ; Good battery life ; Great connectivity features

Display not suitable for outdoors ; Low resolution ; Very bad speakers ; Annoying beeping sounds during 3D rendering and games

What is really surprising is that the Acer has become a very good value-for-money package despite it not having any really outstanding aspects. It is able to provide everything we would have hoped for with the exception of the speaker quality and...

Compact, stiff magnesium chassis ; Great tactile feedback and key travel ; Smooth and effortless mouse buttons ; Docking port, 3 x USB 3.0 ; Rare: ExpressCard/34 ; Useful security and admin tools ; Good battery life ; Good gaming performance ; Solid...

low contrast, small viewing angles ; so-so TFT brightness ; slow hard drive ; long charge time of four hours ; series doesn't offer a lot of configuration options

Acer gets rid of the eSATA port but installs a ExpressCard/34 slot

Hot. Acer launches its new TravelMate TimelineX generation onto the highly competitive market. The 15.6 inch 8573TG proves to have a stable system with good workmanship and first rate computing power. However, the notebook with the anti-glare screen...

Good workmanship; Good computing power; Solid battery life; Anti-glare display

Poor contrast; Low brightness; Poor heat dissipation

Acer TravelMate P-653M

After recently reviewing a couple of light offerings that had SSD to give rapid booting, its back to a larger business notebook but as its high end you lose that horrible shiny black screen surround that shows all the fingermarks.

It is 38x24.5x3cm and weights just over 2.5kilos. It is dark grey apart from the area behind the keyboard that is a mushroom colour. The 106 keyboard has full size keys – apart from the top line function keys – which have a nice feel when pressed....
