Who are Medion? They are a large German electronics company, now owned by Chinese computer giant Lenovo. The screen on the netbook is small, it could do with more RAM and the processor, despite being quad-core, is not particularly fast. But as, say, a second or spare laptop it may be very interesting to some people. It can also be purchased with 4GB RAM and a 1TB hard drive for £299, which is a worthwhile upgrade. Something to consider if a tablet or Chromebook doesn't work for you.
Well, sort of. It works like this: Medion have a netbook (remember netbooks?) called the Akoya K1317T Touch laptop. It has an AMD quad-core processor, a 10.1" touch screen, 500GB hard disk, 2GB RAM and runs Windows 8. It sells for £249.00 - which makes it one of the cheapest computers around - but, rather amazingly, it comes with a full copy of Microsoft Office 2013 Home & Student edition (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote) pre-installed. Office is pretty much a pre-requisite for any computer; it normally retails for £109.95 so deduct this cost and you are basically getting the laptop for just £139.05.
