Aldi laptop

[Dos_Box]

They've got this in on Thursday for £450. I'm getting one to replace the EduGeek Thinkpad whose 1024x768 display is really beginning to annoy me!

I wouldnt pay £450 for that, I would expect more for that price.

It's Medion. Wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

I take a nice big dump over Medion stuff

Hi

My last laptop was a medion and lasted for years and the only thing that broke was the hard drive and that's not surprising as I dropped it. But I will admit the after sales is poor and it took them 4 months to answer a e-mail querry.

I just brought my mother a laptop from Dell and used the customize options and added some bits in and just came in under £449, it had 4GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.1Ghz, 320GB HDD, Built in web cam, DVD-RW....cant remember the rest.

I'd like to see that, could buy a lot of them for staff ...

Did it have the same features as the Medion, i.e. HDMI Out, eSATA, Gigabit LAN, etc?

Dell, HP, Toshiba... Ive recently recommended 3 laptops to staff and all 3 were better spec and cheaper/the same price.

Yes


Go on the Dell site. Dont know if its on the educational side of the site as i tend not to go on it due to them bumping up the price of things (or cutting features) only to give you a "discount" when you order.

Was going to say the same thing - worse than Sophos. My God, is that possible ???!!!

[googlemad]

I got a Medion similar for around £600 a few months ago, build quality was generally quite good but the fan was constantly on and louder than my desktop so I took it back!
