The TravelMate P6 was co-engineered with Intel as part of the chipmaker's Project Athena innovation program and the device itself underwent rigorous testing to ensure it consistently delivers the responsiveness, instant wake and battery life that mobile professionals need to work 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.”
