Dos_Box Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 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! ALDI - Thursday Special Buys 22nd January 2009
Rab Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Laptops - Buy Cheap Laptops from our Laptops range at Ebuyer Few good deals on there just now
IanT Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I wouldnt pay £450 for that, I would expect more for that price.
tech_guy Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 It's Medion. Wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.
kmount Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I wouldnt pay £450 for that, I would expect more for that price. Show me something that beats that spec for that cost please including VAT.
ricki Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 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. Richard
IanT Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 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?
Guest Guest Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Show me something that beats that spec for that cost please including VAT. Dell, HP, Toshiba... Ive recently recommended 3 laptops to staff and all 3 were better spec and cheaper/the same price. 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? 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.

Yup, gig lan, HDMI port on side, card reader, bluetooth, Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit and too top it off a PINK top top!!
kmount Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Dell, HP, Toshiba... Ive recently recommended 3 laptops to staff and all 3 were better spec and cheaper Yes Any specific part codes or so? I'm just looking around and not coming up with much...
mattx Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 It's Medion. Wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. Was going to say the same thing - worse than Sophos. My God, is that possible ???!!!
googlemad Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 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!
john Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Looks good, and I need a new laptop as well, hmmmmm decisions decisions!
kmount Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 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. You've listed Dell, HP & Tosh, can you find a part code please for one of the latter as I am just about to order a laptop for a teacher and this would be ideal. Cheers.
Guest Guest Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 ^ Well i would but the Dell site seems to be broken atm. The Tosh was a special at Comet or Currys... Anyway the Dell is the Dell Studio
LeMarchand Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 But I will admit the after sales is poor and it took them 4 months to answer a e-mail querry. I second that. And third it. And... Apart from that, pretty happy with my Medion (after some of the guys on here helped me recover from a failed BIOS update because Medion wouldn't).
kmount Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 ^ Well i would but the Dell site seems to be broken atm. The Tosh was a special at Comet or Currys... Anyway the Dell is the Dell Studio And the HP?
kmount Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 So I'm still waiting, guess like I thought there isn't a cheaper/better product on the market as nobody has as yet shown us one.
