SYDNEY, NSW: Acer has today launched the newest additions to its Aspire Ethos range with the Acer Aspire Ethos 8951G (18.4-inch) and 5951G (15.6-inch). The two notebooks are targeted to “deliver the ultimate personal theatre” according to an Acer spokesperson.
Chris Osborne, Senior Product Manager Consumer Notebook, Acer Australia spoke about the new models.
“The Aspire 8951G is the ultimate multimedia magnate boasting a frameless Full-HD display and dual HDD. The Aspire 5951G is a great alternative for consumers who love the top features but are looking for something a little smaller.”

The higher-end 8951G boasts a second-generation Intel core i7 processor and Full HD 1080p output, while the 5951G has an i5 processor with HD 720p output. Users can also take their HD content experience to a television with the 8951G, by using HDMI to transfer the 1080p HD “experience” to a compatible TV.
Both models feature Dolby Home Theatre v4 sound systems with five built-in speakers and a subwoofer, and an optional Blu-Ray Disc or DVD optical drive. In addition, each model features Nvidia GeForce GT 500 series discrete graphics, USB 3.0, a 1.3-megapixel HD webcam and Wi-Fi or Ethernet connectivity.
