  • Over the years have had two medion desktops and two medion laptops. My husband has a medion laptop as does my son. Never had any problems with any of them.

    what do you expect to use the system for? as that will inform us on if the systems are worth while,

    for example neither of the ones you have suggested would be any good for 'proper' gaming,

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Computers are not ALL used for playing games on! !!
    I need a fast booting PC for manipulating media and for general use.

    which is why i asked what you want to use it for, and used gaming as a example.

    this being with encoding and editing media, the i7 is a good choice, if you are wanting fast booting a SSD would be a good investment, however a prebuilt system with a SSD boot drive isnt a normal situation yet so i would say either of those would be a good buy for your purposes

    OK I have ordered a Medion Akoya 5364E - With the latest i7 (3770k processor) - for a remarkable £530.95 (that's a £25 Quidco discount) plus a further 4% cashback !!
    Should keep me happy for a few years......
