For the money, don't see anything to complain about.

Good deal. Intel hardware of this level is not easily found in such cheap machines.

Wish manufacturers would start pumping the resolution a bit even in budget laptops though. Higher res panels have dropped in price so much the past few years. It really wouldn't hurt to have at least 1600 x 900 these days for a 15 inch laptop. I'm not even one that demands the highest and maddest resolution either, just feel in these cases more resolution is justified.

I was looking for a laptop for my OH for browsing, office work and occasional catch up TV. Couldn't really find anything that ticked all the boxes (she wanted 14" that still had a decent sized HD and light). I probably would have gone for this instead, but as always a deal comes up after the event.

This is what I've ordered anyway http://www.medion.com/gb/shop/budget-laptops-medion-akoya-e4213-md99547-30019565a1.html £259 (with £10 off code) Heard the name before but not many reviews, fingers crossed it ok. Comes with a 24 month warranty and seems a decent spec for the price.

​I'm sure he didn't.
he posted consise specs. ideal for quick glance.

but thank you for all the further spec.

I voted hot cos I haven't seen anything with that type of processor for this price. I really wish it would come with a SSD option (even if it was higher in price). I much prefer SSD as the boot drive these days, and use external storage for my large files.

Looking over the last few weeks though and it doesn't look like they put SSD in budget machines.

Good specs. Good price. Have some heat :smile:

​I like the look of the Median spec wise. 2 year warranty is a big selling point

screen size n overall weight v important specs ... I like the sound of that medion one good res, 4gb ram and smaller screen .

Have been looking for something in the £200 to £300 price range and was looking at this

How does it compare?

Pretty much the same machine. I'd buy the Acer and stick in a 256gb SSD for £45.
