Great deal, do you know how many were left please. Do Asda reserve stuff, anyone know? Thanks.

Got one of these from Asda a little over a year ago when they were £80 if you were lucky enough to find one. Came with Windows 8.1 then. Runs fine with Windows 10.

Seriously....buy anything else except this. Medion build and component quality is shockingly bad.
The plastic where the hinges meet the bottom bezel of the screen are particularly prone to breaking over time as the plastic is very cheap/thin and the metal inserts attach onto the thin plastic. If you see the plastic cracking over time, you had better look for some way to reinforce as when it cracks further, the LCD panel connection will break with it. In a worse case scenario, it will crack and break the connector in one go but the plastic usually starts cracking before that (giving you some warning).

What you are describing is reasonably common in many far more expensive laptops. How they're used/abused is a major factor.

I've got windows 10 on my four year old Samsung laptop after the upgrade from windows 7 & it runs as good if not better than 7 did

I've never had a single laptop crack the screen bezel near the hinge as a result the plastic being too thin/cheap and I've owned loads of laptops. Medion laptops have the shonkiest build have ever seen.

Cracks resulting from stiff hinges and/or abuse are relatively common. You've maybe just been lucky.
