(update: This item is now available for Pickup orders only)

If you're looking for a cheap business-grade laptop with a good build quality, a touch screen and a lengthy 3 year warranty, this Acer is a good option. It's MIL-SPEC 810G certified so it's on the same durability level as some Dell Latitudes and Lenovo Thinkpads.

In terms of quality this should rate much better than Lenovo E-Series, ASUS Vivobook series and Inspiron 5000 series. Weighs in at a little over 1.1 KG.

Features

14" FHD IPS touch panel (72% NTSC, no idea what the screen brightness is)
USB Type-C with ThunderBolt3 charging
Intel® Core™ i5-10210U Processor (4 Cores, 8 Threads, Base 1.60GHz, Max 4.20GHz)
16GB RAM, 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD (Gen3 x4)
WI-Fi 6 + Bluetooth 5,0
Ethernet Port
Windows 10 Professional, 3 Years Onsite Warranty

Lowest historical price according to Little Birdie, was $1199 earlier in December.

    Huh great find. I need a touch screen laptop for someone, and this looks pretty perfect. If you consider the price of "extended warranty" (the 3 years). This is pretty good!

    I legitimately never expected to upvote an Acer haha.

    There is absolutely nothing I can't find on brightness for this model. Mwave says "high brightness"? https://www.mwave.com.au/product/acer-travelmate-p614-14-lap…

    Mwave does however say its NOT a touchscreen?

    • Edamamme on 09/12/2021 - 15:05

      Most 72 NTSC laptop screens I’ve seen have ended up being 250 Nits brightness. Super tempted on this deal, thanks OP!

      • Slave1 on 09/12/2021 - 15:12

        Is 250 nits for a laptop screen bright? Genuine question. I’m after a decent somewhat entry level laptop and this is around my budget.

        • Edamamme on 09/12/2021 - 15:16

          had a zenbook with 250 nits brightness & hated it for media consumption, too dim for me in so many circumstances. But for an indoor productivity lappy it’s fine.

          Personally I’ll only go for minimum 300 nit panels now
          Some argue the difference isn’t noticeable, but it definitely is to me!

        • incipient on 09/12/2021 - 15:28

          250 is an indoor screen. Outdoor shaded area for occasional office use only (colours will be really flat/washed out). I have a 250 and I occasionally am in a coffee shop under an awning and it's 'acceptable'.

  • Rubber Duck on 09/12/2021 - 15:07

    Can you add a nvme to this

    • xboxslam on 09/12/2021 - 15:38

      16GB RAM, 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD (Gen3 x4)

      It already has one

      • Rubber Duck on 09/12/2021 - 15:46

        i know it has one , i just want to know if it has another slot to add another nvme

          Go to about 30 sec into the video to see the internals clearly, there is only 1x m.2 slot and no provision for a 2.5" drive either.

          8gb ram is soldered to board so I am guessing the one in this deal has an 8GB module in the single expansion slot too.

  • Slave1 on 09/12/2021 - 15:10

    Is this the same one here?

    • humperdoo on 09/12/2021 - 15:13

      Says 8gb of RAM so nah.

    • ericshurn on 09/12/2021 - 15:14

      the one you linked is an i5 8th gen vs 10th gen that op posted, and 8gb ram vs 16gb ram

    • albert0pia on 09/12/2021 - 15:14

      An older model it seems. CPU is 8th gen, RAM is 8GB.

      • Slave1 on 09/12/2021 - 15:15

        Ah whoops, didn’t notice those differences.

  • xboxslam on 09/12/2021 - 15:32

    Weight in specs is 1.6kg. The description says 1.1kg. I guess the specs is the accurate one?

    • Agret on 09/12/2021 - 22:27

      1.6kg is probably including the packaging in the weight

  • Ramii on 09/12/2021 - 15:38

    Tell Acer it’s almost 2022 .

    • Slave1 on 09/12/2021 - 16:20

      Help me feel better after taking too long to decide and missing out online - what makes it behind the times?

  • OzHan on 09/12/2021 - 15:39

    This or Inspiron 15?

  • OzHan on 09/12/2021 - 15:41

    Says peaking at 294 nits.

    Argh damnit online oos ¬¬

  • vinnychase on 09/12/2021 - 15:57

    Any i7s at this price range

    The Thunderbolt 3 and 16GB of RAM makes this deal. 60Whr is also a decent size battery for a 14".

    Edit: According to Notebook Check the display averages ~308nits w/ 93% sRGB coverage (possibly per unit variance). On the inside it looks to have 1x M.2, 1x sodimm (the other 8GB is soldered) and other SKUs come with 4G modems. Not possible to add in the modem after the fact on this trim.

  • Fairmont on 09/12/2021 - 16:10

    Been waiting for a TA Lenovo ThinkPad E14 deal for months. This or E14?

    • TeddyBear on 09/12/2021 - 16:12
      +1

      This, if you want a better complete laptop. The E14 does have a more efficient processor, but comes with a smaller battery: 45Whr vs 60Whr.

  • tonka on 09/12/2021 - 16:38

    I used to like Acer but my last 3 PC's never performed well, limped over the warranty line then died.

  • Clear on 09/12/2021 - 16:39

    Thunderbolt 3 at this price? Dammmnnnnnn

  • here4dealz on 09/12/2021 - 18:06

    Not an attractive looking laptop… I mean look at those thick bezels

  • loveyoulooongtime on 09/12/2021 - 19:24

    How to get this from NSW? I’m guessing I’m out of luck

  • TeddyBear on 09/12/2021 - 19:27

    Those are business grade bezels.

  • Fairmont on 09/12/2021 - 22:12

    I need to connect to two monitors. Will this dock allow for full fast charging on this laptop?

    damn shame to have missed that one.
