Tweet Submit Just when we'd thought multimedia laptops had lost traction, in comes the positively giant Acer Aspire Ethos 8951G. This 18.4-inch, 1920x1080 monster's major unique selling point is that you can pop the touch pad out to become a rem...

Vexatious touch pad and limp speakers aside, the 8951G is rather good. As long as you stay away from Acer's Clear Fi software, you'll likely get some enjoyment out of this laptop.

Okay, so it might be a few weeks (months?) since we dragged ourselves to the gym, and we obviously need to start going again after heaving the Acer Aspire Ethos 8941G from its box. This behemoth weighs a spine-crushing 4kg, which wasn't good news to...

Sharp and vibrant 18.4-inch screen, tons of power, and a solid and attractive body.

The touchpad and speakers are surprisingly ropey, and you can't exactly take it to the park. Plus that price tag is steep.

The Acer Aspire Ethos 8951G is a desktop-replacement machine, offering a huge 18.4-inch screen and components that would make the average PC feel undernourished. It offers a neat design, loads of features and is well made. It's actually a rather good l...

For all the features hidden inside, it's the screen on the Aspire Ethos 8951G which really stands out. Measuring in at 18.4 inches, it makes this laptop one of the largest currently on sale, and it's a fantastic proposition if you want to watch movies or carry out intensive photo or video work. The screen features a high-definition 1920 x 1080-pixel resolution, and HD movies look glorious. Previo...

The Aspire Ethos 8951G may be a laptop in name and design, but it's definitely a breed apart when it comes to portability. Weighing 4.2kg, it's a lot heavier and bulkier than most machines, and we wouldn't want to carry it much further than the next room.

The Acer Aspire Ethos 8951G is a devastatingly capable multimedia laptop. It won't suit everybody, due to the huge dimensions and heavy weight, but it really is a powerful, well made choice with a fantastic screen. If a big screen is necessary, it's mo...
