This small Acer laptop has a good Acer battery life, an IPS panel and runs silently. Windows 8.1 Professional (64 bit) hints towards the business uses of this model.
The Travelmate B115-MP-C2TQ is the "serious" sibling of the Acer Aspire V3-731 and Acer Aspire E3-111, which we previously tested. Potential buyers of this notebook will be business users, which explains the Windows 8.1 Professional (64 bit) OS found on the notebook. The Aspire V3-111P was able to score points with us thanks to its long battery life and good keyboard. In the following in-depth review, we will find out what its sister model has to offer.
The Travelmate has the same build as the Aspire V3-111P and the Aspire E3-111, so we will not discuss the case, connectivity, input devices or speakers any further (unless there are major differences). For more information about these topics, we suggest taking a look at the reviews of its siblings.
The Travelmate has the same build as the Aspire V3-571. However, their is a major difference, aside from the case colors, the Travelmate has a display cover made of brushed aluminium whereas the Aspire uses synthetic material. As such, the Travelmate cover is sturdier. the Travelmate is intended for business users as is shown by the Windows 8.1 (64 bit) Pro OS. The Acer security software 'ProShield' is pre-installed, but additional security features, like a Trusted Platform Module or a fingerprint reader are not included. The Travelmate buyers get an accessory which the buyers of the Aspire will not get: a HDMI-to-VGA adapter.
The Travelmate uses a glossy 11.6 inch display, which has a native resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels. The brightness (181.7 cd/m²) of the panel is not impressive as we have come to expect a value higher than 200 cd/m² as a minimum. After all, this is a small, portable laptop which is supposed to be used in various places. The contrast (744:1) and black value (0.27 cd/m²) are quite good.
The Travelmate B115-MP is a simple 11.6 inch notebook which is predestined for typing and surfing thanks to its long battery life. The Travelmate is aimed at business users, whereas the Aspire V3-111P puts the focus on private users. Our test model is available for around 420 Euros. Acer offers various other configurations - with or without touchscreen.
