I wonder what software it comes with to support the dual dvb-t, dvb-s cards?

It would be nice if it came with Windows Media Centre or something similar like Powercinema 4.
Think the label printing will be done on a Lightscribe drive.

I bought a Medion with high spec for £750 from hree years ago. I had to provide windows, printer and monitor.
The kit has proved to be good as has the Medion telephone help. After 18 months the graphics card failed and this was replaced on site within a week and without hassle.
Once you have paid Aldi you deal with Medion.

Oh dear... Another Medion offering... Take it from someone who used to work there... If you're buying this for Christmas, get ready for a disappointing one...

Or instead take it from somebody who has owned 3 medion PC's (parents have owned 2 as well). 2 from Aldi - 1 from Tesco. They are great machines fabulous spec and good value for money. I had the one last year from Aldi (also a Titanium) and its wonderful. Oh and it did come with power cinema.

Usually they put up a link for a full spec from the Medion homepage http://www.medion.co.uk its not there yet as they are still highlighting the Aldi notebook but its worth keeping an eye open for it.

So did the one last year!

And the year before that

And the year before that

Etc...

Every Christmas they have these PCs, and every year they always amaze you with how much they have stuck in for the money.

Might start saving up for one next year...

I really dont mind if no-one takes my comments into consideration. If you then go on to have a bad experience with the company, then more fool you.

They have not released a product without a problem yet! And because people dont use all of the features of the computer, they dont know that it even has a problem! They are the only people that dont call up usually, and if they notice the problem straight away, straight out of the box, they will do anything to stop you taking it back to the store. The common line we were TOLD to use was "If ALDI want to take the PC back, then that is down to them, but we cannot take it back".

And Mr Skint... :P :P :P

Give Advice yes but not just say Oh thats rubbish I mean you dont work

with the company and Ex employees can hold a grudge.
