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.

The Acer Aspire Ethos 8943G is one of the most comfortable laptops we've used y...
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...

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.
Pricier than its predecessor. Touchpad is a smudge magnet.
Though it's more expensive this time around, the Acer Aspire AS8943G-6782 has a slimmer look, a fancy new touchpad, and is still a quad-core powerhouse...
