Acer Aspire Ethos 8943G - thinking of buying it any feedback welcomed

Hi All,

my current acer (ferrari 5000) is dying and is out of warrenty unfortunately and i have decided that its time to purchase another one.

i have had a look around and the Acer Aspire Ethos 8943G seems to a very good laptop at a reasonable price. can anyone who has/had one of these laptops please give me some feedback as to whether or not it is any good.

here is a link to the laptop

the fingerprint recognition is my main worry, if this somehow broke would it mean that i could not access the laptop? or is there a back up option

any feedback would be great and would help me greatly
many thanks
Luke

 

Go to the 8943g owners lounge thread but in the meantime:

The fingerprint software has a password backup if it fails to read your sweaty finger

I like my 8943g and I stuck an ssd in it so it boots in 20 - 30 seconds

I play high resource games without a problem.

only down side is that the speakers aren'r all they're supposed to be but they are ok.

 

hi mate,

thanks for your reply!
ah thats good that it has a password back up thats a big relief

whats an ssd???

yeah have read that the sound isnt the best but does that make much of a difference on your gaming experience?

what spec do you have? is it the 4/8/16gb ram? are there any software compatibility problems with it at all?

sorry for all the questions will check out the forum you mentioned above and read through it to see what other have to say

appreciate the feedback mate
Luke
