Is this worth considering,
http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/special_buys3_25892.
Or would I be better looking at a Dell eqivalent with intel chip, the main uses are for web, spreadsheet and word processing, also a little data management .

Yes that is it, is it any good in terms of value for money and performance.Change is here to stay0 -
I have two Medions the one i am on now is above 4 years old and still going strong,i think it is a good price for the computer.
Also with Aldi you get a 3 year warranty with most of their goods i would think they still give this with the computers but not 100% sure.0 -
Looks like a good deal.
comes with everything required except a monitor.
I paid pretty much almost that just for my motherboard bundle and pc case, without the internal 1tb drive and operating system
and mine doesnt have wireless built in.
I also didnt get a new keyboard and mouse or usb 3. or memory card reader.0 -

I've also had 2 Medions from Aldi over the last 7 or 8 years and had no problems apart from the triangular start button on the front which gave way recently - all it does is press a microswitch so I've just removed it.
My current (4 year old) one runs very quietly and has plenty of connectivity. The supplied keyboard and mouse are pretty cheap and I immediately fitted wireless Logitech ones in their place.
The Office 2010 software is a basic version and I now use the free Libre Office which does more than I would ever use.
Not sure about the 3 year warranty but I would certainly buy another one from them.0 -
If I purchased one is there slots to upgrade the ram to 8 gig and once again is the cp good enough compared to Intel.Change is here to stay0

Which Intel cp would this pc be equivalent to, the i3 or i5 or not as good as these.Change is here to stay0

My Medion tower has been going for over 9 years now, although with fairly light use. However it was branded Cybercom, made in Germany.
I think you can get a further £5 off Aldi via a newspaper voucher; see Grabbit board.
It doesn't say how many USB ports it has.....

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php
CPU ranks 96 in the list, equivalent to top-end i5/mid-range i7......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple0 -
Would this pc have a HDMI connection that I could connect a TV to and use as a temporary monitor.
No one has knocked the spec, so do I assume it is reasonable?Change is here to stay0
