As a representative of Taiwanese PC manufacturers, Acer has not only had home-grown computers and notebooks for many years, but also is one of the earliest manufacturers to start producing professional business notebooks. After many generations of products, Acer's commercial TravelMate series has become a classic series of many people's minds and has achieved a good harvest in both word of mouth and sales.
Today Xiaobian got the latest high-end model TMP648 of their TravelMate series. This business unit, which has a strong overall strength, is officially positioned as an "ideal office assistant." This business book gives Xiao Bian a very good impression with its solid mold, first-rate experience and strong comprehensive capabilities. The unique features of its unique Acer DustDefender fan reversing dust removal system and Acer ProShield security system also add a lot of points. Not much to say, with Xiao Bian together to feel this basic solid business book.
Appearance: classic black rectangular design award countless feel first-class
Acer TMP648 feels full of elite atmosphere from the moment of out of the box Xiaobian, A surface carbon fiber material to bring the black texture combined with angular corners, the overall reveals a sturdy qi. The silver Acer Logo nameplate is also cool enough, this design makes Xiaobian very much like.
The packaging style is full of simplicity
Open the screen, B side of the narrow border screen is also hard and full, one pure black border and the screen is simple and clean, the camera and the Acer Logo low-key arrangement in the B surface of the central axis of the upper and lower sides. The middle 14-inch screen has FHD resolution, high brightness, wide viewing angle characteristics make it a good window in the office.
Beautiful key process and feel
The C-side has a keyboard and touchpad system that is basically a direct and decisive factor for business use. As the "old driver" of the business, Acer has a unique understanding of the C-side design. The keyboard section is designed with a full-size, long key path, and the wide spacing and good input feel make long typing a pleasure. Soft white backlight is also standard, and night office is naturally unobstructed
In terms of touch panels, Acer did not join the TrackPoint system, but instead gave more space to the split touchpad and the fingerprint recognition and NFC modules integrated in it, achieving a win-win situation for both touch and functionality. The touchpad with the same metal material as the C surface is very comfortable to touch. A good algorithm completely eliminates the problem of misuse.
A key flight mode, a key to adjust settings, a key mute microphone, a key switch machine ~
In addition to these, Acer has many years of experience in the upper right corner of the C face, in particular, set up a number of shortcut keys, including microphone mute, these shortcut keys in business meetings can be perfect control of the scene and improve work efficiency.
The single-fan heat dissipation demonstrates Acer's confidence in the heat dissipation capability of its products, and the dust outlet next to it is a manifestation of technical power.
D surface still continues the exquisite workmanship and rigidity of the machine. It can be seen that the TMP648 has a single fan cooling design, while the left side of the D surface has a fast storage and replacement area with DASP anti-drop technology, which can be used to expand faster or larger hard drives.
Two speakers are distributed on both sides of the bottom to provide stereo sound, and the docking slot in the middle of D surface allows the TMP648 to easily be compatible with a large number of expansion kits of the TravelMate series to achieve more extensive extension functions and more powerful life time or performance.
Extensibility: VGA TYPE-C coexistence is more practical
On the interface, TMP648 has a very rich choice. The dense left side of the fuselage arranged RJ45 network port, VGA port, HDMI port, USB3.0 port and a TYPE-C lightning interface, a 3.5mm headphone port.
Under the light enough thickness of the fuselage, Acer still insists on the full-size HDMI, VGA and RJ45 network ports in the TMP648, have to say that they are really familiar with the needs of business people. Now many commercials use external adapters to achieve better scalability, but the convenience of doing so is naturally far less convenient and practical than the native interfaces in notebooks. The USB port is fully equipped with the USB 3.0 standard to increase the transmission speed, and it is no longer a waste of time for users to find the USB 3.0 interface, which further improves the working efficiency.
The addition of the TYPE-C interface not only enables ultra-high-speed data transmission, but also has vital significance when connecting to new devices that will appear in the future.
The right side of the machine is relatively clean and simple. Two USB 3.0 ports, a round port power connector and a notebook keyhole are everything.
In addition, TMP648 also has a scanning fingerprint identification device placed between the left and right touchpad keys. It is a small pity that we have not adopted a press type that is now more popular and has a higher recognition rate. However, for a fingerprint module that is indispensable for commercial use, it is obviously more practical to use the touch panel for convenient design after recognition.
There must be an SD card reader next to the indicator light.
In general, the TMP648's interface is rich and "both old and new", VGA, RJ45 reservations allow it to travel the world no matter which meeting room can smoothly connect the projection equipment and the Internet for office. The rich USB interface configuration provides great convenience for data transmission.
Performance test: CPU+ alone +DDR4 brings powerful performance
In the overall performance test, Xiao Bian got the TMP648, although not the top of the I7, but because of the strong performance brought by the GeForce 940M and I5-6300U, the overall test results are also very good-looking, not only can fully meet the daily office For use, some less heavy graphic design tasks can also be achieved with the support of large-capacity DDR4 memory.
High-performance best certification
Let's look at the core hardware first. I5-6300U has a 2.4Ghz high frequency and only 15W TDP, is one of the best choice for balance performance and endurance. The Nvidia GeForce 940M provides powerful graphics and physical computing performance, 8GB of high-capacity DDR4 memory for multi-tasking.
Let's look at the performance of the low-voltage flagship CPU I5-6300U. Thanks to the advantages of 14nm process and Skylake architecture, the actual performance of this low-voltage CPU is even stronger than the star CPU I5-4200M of the Haswell era.
The entry point alone is not the same as the nuclear display, not to mention the actual performance.
A notebook with a discrete graphics card will not be too bad. Nvidia's superior optimization and unique technology allow even entry-level discrete graphics such as the 940M to deliver impressive performance. Not only does the game performance show up, large office design software can also be faster and more stable.
DDR4 memory inherently has a higher frequency and can process information more quickly. The TMP648's memory is equipped with dual 4G, a total of 8GB capacity 2133Mhz frequency enough for daily use.
Disk performance is not really outstanding. If you want faster performance, adding a SSD is a good choice.
It is a pity that there is no SSD on the hard drive (if you need to replace the SATA SATA interface), but this 7200PRM disk from WD is enough for daily office use.
From the point of view of comprehensive performance, Acer TMP648 is very easy to handle in daily home office tasks, even if it is an occasional whim to want a League of Legends or a basic 3D design is no problem.
The theoretical value is very strong
Software: Combining Soft and Hard to Bring a Safer and Better Business Book
Acer's investment in its own PC adapter software is very large, a variety of functions and adjustments can be completed through their own software, without the need to go through the hands of a third party, in the optimization and compatibility is naturally more A higher level. TMP648 is also equipped with a set of supporting software for its business identity. Xiao Bian's overall use, it feels very practical.
Feel this software, omnipotent ah
The first thing that comes naturally is Acer ControlCenter. Check status, update system, switch function, one-click optimization - these all need only one software to be able to get it. As for how concrete it is. . . Let's take a look at the screenshot.
The interface is simple, functional and practical. Fingerprints entered can not only unlock the computer, but also can encrypt and decrypt data.
In order to ensure security, Acer also has a highly integrated system Acer ProShield software, this software can take over the system's internal security management, through fingerprints, passwords and other ways to protect computer data and user privacy security.
For fans of DustDefender, no longer have to worry about the long time fans are grey
In addition, combined with Acer's exclusive hardware technology, Acer also introduced two small software to protect the status of fans and hard drives. These two software can perfectly work with DASP hard disk anti-drop technology and fan reverse dust removal technology.
Life and Cooling: Refreshing use is not a problem
In the battery life test, Xiao Bian used the PCMark 8 battery life test mode which can give the system a high load to test the limit life, and 100% screen brightness tested the whole battery life.
Test results in 6 hours and 45 minutes, in accordance with the law of general use, the actual life time of the TMP648 will be more than 10 hours, more than the official given 8 hours of battery life, the overall life is very strong, do not worry outside the day Loss of work due to power outages.
In the heat-dissipation test, Xiao Bian used the AIDA 64's CPU/GPU double copy to test, and the test time exceeded one hour.
After running at full load for one hour, the temperature of the main body of the whole machine was about 33 degrees, and the main heat was smoothly discharged to the heat dissipation port. Although there is only a single fan, the cooling efficiency can be quite good.
to sum up
Acer's commercial new product, the TMP648, boasts numerous award-winning excellent mold designs, a good feel, and a complete new interface. In terms of performance, as a commercial model equipped with a discrete graphics card natively, its performance is sufficient for daily office use, and even some large-scale software can handle it. Coupled with excellent life and good cooling system, it can be said to be an adequate all-round business partner.
With his company, his hands are full of confidence wherever he goes.
If a computer is said to be "all-powerful," then it must be handy if it is held in the hands of the right person. Whether you are a journalist who needs a lot of typing every day, a financial officer who needs strong performance, or a senior executive who has a requirement for the value of the computer and life, there is a TMP648 at hand that will always be a matter of peace of mind.
