Increasingly, there are laptops in the workplace, and home users had to evaluate the mobility and convenience of possession a laptop, as opposed to a stationary PC. The only thing that could overshadow the film enthusiasts and gamers, it's relatively small display, but now you can buy a laptop with a screen diagonal of 18.4 inches or more. An excellent example of this - a multimedia laptop Acer 8951G Ethos , which in addition to a powerful stuffing has an interesting design features. Details below.
I must say, the designers managed to make the Acer laptop is very harmonious, that it is difficult at this size. Acer 8951G Ethos has turned serious and strict: the body is made of metal, except for the plastic frame, framing the display, side parts and the working area of the touchpad. The main color black notebook, but occasionally there are parts painted in gray and silver colors. Inside most of the working surface of the keyboard is made according to the island type, and I must say it well worked over. The keys are large in size with a comfortable layout. I note that the keyboard is equipped with illumination - handy if you often sits up in front of computer dark evenings.
The touchpad is, of course, big, and its feature in that it is removable. Outwardly, it does not stand out, and if you do not know about this "chip", then this can not even guess. On the front edge of the notebook is placed lock slider, which allows you to get out of the housing panel and use the device as a remote control. Right of the touchpad is placed a fingerprint scanner.Why does he need a laptop that level difficult to understand, but it is, and this is another feature of the Acer 8951G Ethos .
The novelty is used to display a huge 18.4-inch 1920 x 1080 dpi. The screen has a glossy coating, which is beneficial to the color rendering, but it does not protect the user's eyes from glare. The picture quality is excellent, so that everyone can fully enjoy the realism of computer games and movies. By the way, in addition to excellent image, users will appreciate a good sound system with five speakers and subwoofer, which give a rich and high-quality "sound."
On the technical part of the laptop as a very good looking. It set a powerful quad-core Intel Core i7-2630QM 2.0 GHz, which is activated mode Turbo Boost speeds up to 2.9 GHz. Of course, memory does not happen much, but here it just 16 gigabytes, so what kind of out there "upgrade" you can not even think about. Video is a symbiosis of the integrated graphics adapter and a full card NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M 2 GB of memory, which can easily handle the games, but, alas, only at medium graphics settings. Storage space for multimedia and entertainment more than enough - two hard drives of 750 GB each . In sum, we get 1.5 TB. In order to establish an Internet connection to Acer Ethos 8951G uses the standard means of communication: the module Wi-Fi standard 802.11b / g, Bluetooth-adapter and "Gigabit" Ethernet card.
Set of connectors is quite wide and varied. There is so rare for laptops FireWire, three USB 2.0 standard, there is still one slot USB 3.0, eSATA combined with USB, IEEE 1394, LAN, VGA (D-Sub), HDMI, RJ-45, food, headphones, microphone and speakers to connect. Apart from all these interfaces on the front face of the device can find a card reader SD / MMC / xD / MS / MS Pro, and on the right is Blue-Ray drive.
With his size and power, Acer Ethos 8951G demonstrates the excellent results of battery life.For example, in notebook power-saving mode will last from 5 to 7 hours, and when playing Full HD-video notebook "stretch" for up to 4 hours without a break.
Sure, Acer 8951G Ethos - a successful model for home use. Modern filling in the shell solid size combined with harmonic appearance, and its size notebook does not look bulky. I am glad that the developers made the model a truly interesting. Here and sound quality, a full keyboard with a convenient layout, capacity battery and removable, but it is still not entirely comfortable touchpad.
