  • It's a portable laptop...it has a 12.1" (wide)screen for a reason!

    It's a rebadged MSI s2xx, probably s270. Good quality laptop, above medion's normal quality. Very nice size, I have the more basic S250 and take it with me everywhere leaving my bigger laptop at home. However, I paid £330 for mine brand new.

    A laptop that you can actually call a LAPtop! Screen may be small but its the resolution that doesnt make you miss a bigger screen. About the size of an A4 pad.. perfect to carry around

    Why is it rubbish? What aspect of it is rubbish? Please could you possibly give an alternative Notebook roughly at the same price. (Not a Laptop)

    It's superb for the money. Medion PC's are superb. You'll probably get a 3 year warranty as well. 12.1" screens are the best if you are genuinely going to be travelling with a laptop/Notebook. Have you tried humphing a 17" screen laptop about??? They're about as protable as a washing machine!

    ooo where on earth did you get the S250 for that.. I've been looking and the cheapest I've found is £700.
