Agentless Backup is Not a Myth
Thanks to the Core i7 processor and HD 5650 graphics, gaming is a real possibility on the Ethos. The HD5650 isn’t ATI’s fastest laptop graphics core – that moniker belongs to the 5800-series – but it’s still very capable.

+ in the end it's just an Acer with their legendary support services.
What really stinks here is the "verdict" despite the shortcomings you mentioned:

the new 18.4in Aspire Ethos 8943G will appeal to those looking for a desktop replacement that doesn’t hold back on performance. Each of the four cores on the Core i7-720QM purr along at 1.6GHz, while ATI’s Mobility Radeon HD 5650 is on hand should you want to indulge in a bit of gaming.
