Acer TravelMate P243 laptop marked for the business class

Acer TravelMate P243

The Acer TravelMate P243 falls in the category of notebooks that aim at the business class with Ivy Bridge processor options and enhanced security. For those eager to get their hands on the device, the company has planned to release it this month itself.

The notebook sports a 14-inch Acer ComfyView backlit LCD that delivers a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels along with an aspect ratio of 16:9. On the memory front, it offers 4GB of DDR3 RAM configuration which can go up to 8GB and a SATA HDD that supports up to 500GB of hoarding capacity. To a certain extent, the affixed spill-resistant keyboard should prevent the internal components from getting damaged. As mentioned above, the TravelMate P243 draws fuel from a third generation Intel Core i5 CPU clubbed with Intel Turbo Boost technology for smooth operations.

“Today’s mobile business executive needs a PC that is robust enough to run intensive business applications while still fitting into strict budget guidelines,” stated Gregg Prendergast, vice president of commercial sales for Acer America. “The TravelMate P243 notebook is an important addition to our professional notebook portfolio, as it combines everything today’s road warrior requires, including exceptional performance, enterprise-level security, durability and manageability for a best-in-class mobile experience.”

With the help of WiDi, users will be able to hook up the device to an external display via a suitable adaptor. The HD webcam and the in-built microphone included within the company’s Video Conference solution can be employed for video chats. Features such as Acer’s ProShield Security, Backup and Office Manager clubbed with the BioProtection Fingerprint solution are integrated within the device to tighten security.

The Acer TravelMate P243 price begins at $699.99 (approx. Rs. 39,000). Potential buyers can even pick it up with the 2 generation Intel Core i3 processor, at a tag starting from $599.99 (approx. Rs. 33,430).
