Acer goes big on business with six new TravelMate P4 and Spin P4 laptops using Intel and AMD CPUs

Acer has refreshed and expanded its business-class TravelMate series with six new laptops announced today. The 14- and 16-inch TravelMate P4 and 14-inch Spin P4 laptops are available with a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 vPro or AMD Ryzen 7 PRO CPU, as well as myriad security features to keep your data safe.

An IR camera (with webcam shutter) and a fingerprint reader work with Windows Hello for biometric logins, while vPro and Pluton are incorporated right into the processors. These are all Microsoft Secured Core PCs with dTPM 2.0 chips. They’ve also all undergone MIL-STD 810H certification to ensure they can withstand a harsher life than the usual consumer laptop.

Here’s a look at the specifications for the 14-inch Intel and AMD versions of the TravelMate P4.

All laptops are available with up to 32GB of RAM, though the Intel versions use DDR4 while the AMD models use faster DDR5. Up to 1TB of M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD storage can be configured, and all are using integrated graphics from Intel or AMD. While all laptops have Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2, only the Intel models have optional 4G LTE connectivity for times when you’re outside of Wi-Fi range.

The 14-inch TravelMate P4 has a display with 16:10 aspect ratio, 1920×1200 (FHD+) resolution, and IPS panel. If that’s not quite large enough, you can also go with a 16-inch screen with the same resolution. All laptops have a comfy 1.55mm key travel, making long days of typing much less of a hassle. And above the keyboard is a quad-speaker setup with DTS Audio and dual microphones with AI noise reduction to filter out background noise while you’re talking.

Here’s a look at the specs for the 16-inch TravelMate P4 with Intel or AMD hardware.

The TravelMate P4 also comes in a convertible Spin model. It’s only built for a 14-inch design, but it does come with Intel or AMD CPUs. The major difference here, aside from the 360-degree hinges, is the touch display with anti-glare finish and AES 1.0 active pen compatibility. If you prefer taking notes by hand, this will likely be the better choice.

Here are the 14-inch TravelMate Spin P4’s specs as provided by Acer.

All of these TravelMate P4 and Spin P4 business laptops are expected to launch Q3 2022. The non-convertible models all start at $1,099, while the Spin versions start at $1,199.
