Hi guys,
Are Medion laptops any good? if yes/no why?
As I'm considering getting this:

http://www.medion.com/gb/electronics/prod/MEDION%C2%AE+AKOYA%C2%AE+P6625+15.6%22+Laptop+(MD97409)/30010926A1?category=standard_notebooks_11

Is it a good buy? ( In terms of brand/specs/price/etc )

That's its GPU. Despite the name it's only a higher clocked 4650, therefore a generation older of what is available, it is around 50 - 100 pounds cheaper than having a 5650 with an i5.

The 5650 is better, but only slightly, i'd concider Medion a black horse - Unheard of and mostly walked past but hold a good balance of performance and value for money in their systems.

I was tempted to by that same Laptop at one point but i'd rather spend the extra money on a 5650.
