The Acer Aspire Ethos 8943G is a high-end multi-media laptop, offering effortless performance, style, features and the ability to play the latest games. Although it can't match the latest Alienware laptops for 3D power, it's more than a match in every...

he Acer Aspire Ethos 8943G features one of the best screens on the market, and at 18.4 inches it's perfect for all night gaming sessions or checking out the latest high-definition movies. As well as offering a stunning array of colours, it also features a pin-sharp 1920 x 1080-pixel resolution, and games look amazing.

Despite its amazing office performance, the Acer Aspire Ethos 8943G can't match the best gaming systems when it comes to 3D performance. It's still capable of playing games, but you may have to tone down detail settings. It's also a huge laptop, and we wouldn't want to carry it further than the next room!...
The Acer Aspire Ethos 8943G is more of a media laptop than an out-and-out gaming machine. With features including a Blu-ray drive and that amazing screen, there's a lot to like about it, but it's perhaps better suited to more casual gamers than their h...

Acer’s done a good job with the Ethos – it looks great and performs well. Of course, the fast processor, large screen, Blu-ray drive and fancy design don’t come cheap, and many will baulk at the price tag Acer’s slapped on it. That said, it’s in line...

The Acer Aspire 8943G is a desktop replacement in an almost literal sense - you'll barely be able to see any desk behind it. A gigantic 18.4in display means the chassis measures 440mm across and weighs more than 4kg, so it's good for the occasional tri...

Anyone who is a fan of 18-inch laptop screens and quad-core processing knows that Acer is one of the few remaining companies that make media centers. While the Aspire AS8940-6865 ($1,399 street, ) wasn't much of a looker, it nabbed an Editors' Choic...

Sexy new look. Quad-core processing. 8GB of RAM. Touchpad illuminates with icons. 18-inch widescreen is magnificent. Full 1080p HD. Very good battery life for a media-center laptop. Superb gaming scores. Blu-ray drive included. Great-sounding speakers.
