...i came across this Medion after some advice from a very techy computer friend who advised me that for £479 it was a great little buy, and had everything on it i required
Basically it has
Windows Vista Premium
Intel Pentium dual-core processor T2130
120 GB hard disk
Wireless internet capabillity
Can burn DVD and CD
Has a 4 in 1 memory card reader
It also came with a USB mouse, which i will probably never use and a protective carry bag, a handy ... ...is just personnal preference
The Medion 96290 is a good size for portabillity and is not to heavy
One thing that i'm really pleased with is how long the battery lasts, something i have had trouble with on previous laptops i can get a good 3 hrs out of this one
Also a fun thing you can do with this laptop is to change the outer lid and personalise it
Anyway as i said i'm not very technical but am very happy with my Medion Laptop ...

Advantages: Reliable, good value for money Disadvantages: not great for gaming
The Medion MD 96290 is in my opinion a very good laptop for the price of it - roughly £500 - £600. It has many impressive features including Windows Vista Premium, Intel Pentium dual-core processor T2130, 120 GB hard disk , 30 GB recovery disk etc. However it has a relatively small screen compared to other laptops at 15.4 inches. It has a long battery life (lasts 3 hours when left uncharged) and I have not experienced any technical problems with ... ...If you are looking for a laptop that isn't too expensive but still delivers good quality performance then this is the laptop for you. However, I suggest you use it more for work purposes as games don't run aswell on this laptop compared to other laptops due to the quality of the graphics card, therefore had to buy another laptop for my gaming reasons. The laptop also has very good sound quality and has media player and media centre already installed ...

Advantages: Easy to use, nice big screen, very clear. Disadvantages: Needs a bigger RAM!
Well, I was desperate for a laptop and seen this for a bargain price. Even though I had not heard of Medion, I just had a little faith and went for it!
It's not a bad laptop. But as they say "You get what your pay for!"
The ONLY problem I've had with it is the fact it doesn't have an excellent fan!
I had only had the laptop 6 months and it kept cutting out (mainly becuase the way I sat with the laptop on my lap, which totally over heated the machine) ... ...if you are looking to purchase a laptop for media purposes (computer graphics, video editing, music programming..etc) I would not recommend this laptop UNLESS you are willing to upgrade the RAM. Which I found myself having to pay £30 to do as I produce alot of media.
So, to wrap it up, I would say GREAT for a little basic computer stuff like writing up documents & surfing the web! ...
