Acer has reportedly unveiled a new thin-and-light commercial notebook called TravelMate X514-51, specially meant for small and medium businesses. It comes in a chassis that features parts made of magnesium-lithium and magnesium-aluminium alloys, which are stronger than typical aluminium alloys at the same thickness, but weigh 20 per cent to 35 per cent lesser, said the manufacturer.
Since the laptop is designed for frequent travellers, it is weighs only 2.16 pounds, with 14.99-mm thickness and 14-inch display.
The laptop has Intel’s 8th Gen Core i5/i7 processors, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, 512 GB of SSD storage, modern 802.11ac Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 5.0 controller, and so on. The laptop also supports a host of security features required for businesses.
To make business communications comfortable, Acer equipped the TravelMate X514-51 with a 720p webcam, stereo speakers as well as two far-field Acer PurifiedVoice microphones that can suppress keyboard sounds.
Being a business laptop, it also has a host of security features, including a Microsoft Hello-compatible fingerprint reader, a TPM 2.0 chip, and Acer’s ProShield security and management tools.
Acer will start selling its TravelMate X514-51 notebook in June starting at $1,099. The entry-level configuration of the laptop will include a Core i5 processor paired with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB SSD.
