Acer’s new Ethos Laptop isn’t the world’s craziest lappy when it comes to guts—Core i5/i7 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M graphics—but it has one interesting feature: a detachable trackpad. that not only detaches from from the laptop, but also functions as a media remote.
The card-sized trackpad functions exactly the same while detached, but then with the touch of a button, LEDs appear from beneath the trackpad’s surface and it gains a second life as a media remote with music, movie and presentation control capablities.
The rest of the laptop’s feature set skews towards entertainment purposes, with edge-to-edge Gorilla Glass in 15.6-inch and 18.4-inch sizes, instant-on media mode and Dolby sound. There’s even a built-in subwoofer, though I’m not sure how much punch you can pack into the body of a laptop. The Ethos is available now from $2,399.
