We are now having to bite the bullet, sell stuff and try to get our business off the ground, and we need a laptop.
I don't want to run Windows 10, and I do want a 17" screen.
I have come across this Medion laptop and it looks ideal.

Has anyone ever owned a Medion, and if so what do you think of them.

Cheers.

    Meh, they're alright. My old man had one years ago, lasted for ages. Most of these brands use the same hardware anyway so I'm sure you'll be fine.

    Had a Medion 10+ years ago. It was rubbish & overheating. Threw it away.
    Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.
  • Medion Desktop yes, laptop no.

    Desktop is 8 year old i think upgraded Ram hard drive graphic card and OS still runs strong.

    Bought from Aldi always been good quality(this is my third over the years)
  • I have the little 10.1" netbook (E1317T), and I find it excellent.

    It came with Windows 8, which was upgraded to 8.1, and now to 10.

    All I've done is double the RAM.

    And the plugs/leads should be good for another decade or so;)
