Editor's Summary
LAS VEGAS, Jan.5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Acer today announced its latest TravelMate P6 andTravelMate P2 commercial notebooks for modern, mobile, security-conscious customers. The powerful and robust 14-inch and 15-inch notebooks feature up to 10th Gen Intel Core i7 processors, comply with MIL-STD-810G U.S. military standards and run Windows 10 Pro.
"Durable yet thin-and-light, the latest TravelMate P6 provides mobile professionals with performance they can rely on," said James Lin, General Manager, Notebooks, IT Products Business, Acer Inc. "We're confident they'll appreciate the ability to work for two days without having to recharge, in addition to the notebook's military standard compliant chassis and enhanced security."
Acer TravelMate P6: For Professionals On-the-Go
The new Acer TravelMate P6 sports a premium quality magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis that is stronger and lighter than standard aluminum alloys at the same thickness. It also gives the laptop a sleek and modern aesthetic. Weighing just 2.4 pounds (1.1 kg)[3] and measuring only 0.6 inches (16.6 mm), it's easy to take on the road. With up to 23 hours[1],[2] of battery life, professionals can stay productive on transcontinental flights or work through two full days on the go without having to recharge. This high-performance notebook can also be charged up to 50% in less than 45 minutes. Optional eSIM-enabled 4G LTE connectivity enables users to work and collaborate on-the-go. Certified for Microsoft Teams, the TravelMate P6 delivers crystal-clear videoconferencing via a four-mic array that picks up vocals from up to 6.5 feet away.
Co-engineered with Intel as part of Intel's innovation program codenamed "Project Athena", the TravelMate P6passed rigorous testing to achieve the program's experience targets[4] and hardware specifications, ensuring it consistently delivers the responsiveness[5], instant wake[6], and battery life[5],[7],[8] that ambitious people need to focus from anywhere.
"Acer's TravelMate P6 showcases the exceptional co-engineering efforts driven by Acer and Intel through the Project Athena program. Our Intel Core processor performance and the vPro platform provides standout capability for businesses and matches the ambition of on-the-go professionals," said Josh Newman, Vice President, Client Computing Group, Intel.
The new Windows 10 Pro notebooks are packed with up to 10th Gen Intel Core i7 processors, up to 24 GB DDR4 memory, up to NVIDIA GeForce MX250 graphics, and up to 1 TB of responsive Gen 3 x4 PCIe SSD using NVMe technology for speeding through editing large spreadsheets, and creating presentations. The TravelMate P6 makes sharing and collaborating easy with a 180-degree hinge design, enabling it to lay flat so the display can be shared with others.
Tough, Tested and Reliable
The Acer TravelMate P6 was designed for mobile professionals, and part of that is being able to handle real-life situations that might come up in and outside the office. Made to be MIL-STD-810G and 810F compliant, a set of military durability tests[9], the TravelMate P6 can survive the bumps from airport security, accidental drops and other mishaps. Other tests check the laptop's resistance to rain, humidity and extreme temperatures.
Solid Security
In addition to keeping data safe, companies want devices that are easy to deploy and manage remotely. Outfitted with Windows 10 Pro, the TravelMate P6 offers powerful security features to help safeguard data. Customers can log in using Windows Hello via the fingerprint reader on the power button, or through the IR webcam that leverages biometric facial recognition. Both methods eliminate the need to remember and use a password. When the webcam is idle, the camera shutter can be physically closed for additional security. An integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 chip delivers hardware-based protection for passwords and encryption keys. The pre-loaded Acer ProShield includes a suite of security and management tools that help safeguard sensitive data, while Acer Office Management lets IT professionals deploy security policies and monitor assets from one interface.
