In Aldi how much do you think it will be ?

ericbloodaxe

Its priced at 799 euros so my guess would be between £499 and £539

According to a few German websites it looks likely to have some of the following specs :-

Intel core duo T2060 (1.6 GHz, 1 MT L2 Cache)
15.4 " Widescreen (1280 x of 800 pixels)
1 GB DDR2
Intel Graphics MediaAccelerator 950 (PCI express)
120 GB
Multi-standard burner, DVB-T, WLAN
Windows Vista Home Premium

Trying to find out what software it comes with but doesn't look to be the core2duo processor. Not sure if this is a good deal - I'm looking for a lappie but not sure whether to buy a dell or not !!!

Edit.... http://www.medion.de/md98200/lu_d/flash.html has more information.

No built-in wireless - how strange for a new laptop these days.

It's no big deal, you can get an adapter for under £20. But strange! You would need to get a USB type if you are using the TV tuner at the same time, which seems to go in the expansion slot.

I'd also want to know if the memory can be increased. 1GB is the minimum for Vista, so anything excessive may cause problems. I get the feeling that a lot of 1GB specced machines are being upgraded to Vista without much consideration for the memory requirements.
