It comes with a detachable keyboard which is rare for large size notebooks.

Detachable Touchpad

The most extraordinary feature of this notebook is the detachable touchapad. You can slide out the touchpad and use it as another input device in addition to regular mouse and keyboard. This detachable touchpad can be very useful when you are watching a movie.

Pros

Acer Aspire Ethos 8951G is a true notebook, it’s screen size is quite large for a typical notebook/laptop yet it is so light. just 3.9 kg which is really amazing. It’s multimedia capabilities are impressive. It is sleek, light, mobile and gives you everything which you could dream in a high end notebooks.

Cons

18.4 inch screen can be useful for those geeks who run multiple application same time or those who want to use this notebook as entertainment system. However this same screen size can make it less mobile. You don’t want to carry 18.4 inch electronics device with you in train or plane. The screen size makes it grounded at home.

It doesn’t have a remote control. Well that’s why it is a notebook and not a laptop. So if you intend to use this notebook to watch movies then you need to rely on the detachable touchpad for control. However you can’t have the full play control with touchpad which could be a real deterrent for multimedia enthusiasts.

Verdict

On the surface this notebook looks and ideal choice for multimedia lovers and gaming pros, however lack of remote control is a real miss. Without a remote control the multimedia experience will be spoilt. The large screen size makes it less mobile.

So this notebook could be useful for a home entertainment system if you can manage without remote.
