Acer TravelMate P645 Notebook Review

[Redaktion]

Success. Acer's 14-inch Travelmate P645 does not have any serious weaknesses, and besets the business-leaders from Hewlett Packard and Lenovo. It clearly outruns its rivals in terms of battery life.

No mention of case quality, screen hinges, etc..?

Why leave out such a big part of any thorough review?!

Early in the review, they mentioned that this is essentially identical to the previous version (the P645-MG).  In a nutshell, case quality is superior (carbon fiber shell on a magnesium alloy frame), no flex on the keyboard or deck,  solid well-calibrated metal hinges (opens to about 150 degrees, snaps closed like a tight clam shell when within about 20 degrees (no extra latch for close and lock since hinge spring tension keeps it closed).

Finally found the perfect laptop! No other laptop has ALL of my selection criteria:

- 14"
- Lightweight
- Long battery life
- Matte screen
- IPS
- Screen resolution lower than 1440P
- No discrete graphics
- No optical drive
- i5
- >= 8GB RAM
- >= 256GB && SSD
- Full-sized HDMI, VGA, and LAN ports
- USB 3.0
- Backlit keyboard
- Normal arrow buttons (not HP ones)
- Extremely reasonable price (found it for $999.99 new on Newegg & Amazon)

I almost can't believe a laptop that's exactly how I want it actually exists. Although it could look sexier. I just hope the touchpad and keyboard are good. It'd be such a shame otherwise

Well if the touchpad is anything like the earlier P236 which I have you are going to be extremely disappointed.
Based on our experience, we have 3, i would not recommend this machine to anyone.
