The stock status keeps changing. According to the thread on hukd, it was out of stock and then they got a few more. They seem to sell out real quick but worth keeping an eye on.

I bought a Medion Akoya branded laptop a couple of years ago and have had bad experiences with their support services. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

I also have a Medion Akoya laptop I bought in Aldi about 6 years ago. I had to contact contact support services a few times and they were excellent. I would defo buy one again.

I had the laptop and will keep away from the brand in future. Had to send it back to be repaired and it took ages to come back. So long that while still under warranty I paid for it to be repaired for other issues elsewhere.

I'm posting from a several year old Medion desktop. Excellent layout / build quality internally - very easy to upgrade. One experience with customer service (processor fan started whining) which was fixed with a replacement part within a few days. I'd happily buy another.

I too had a Medion from Aldi years ago. Never stopped giving me trouble, they replaced the motherboard 4 times. Eventually sent me a new one just at the end of the 3 years. The new one wasn't covered with 3 year support, blew after a year, I just took all the parts i needed from it.

Medion have excellent support IMO, but make sh!t computers. Whenever something goes in them, it's usually something weird.
The PSU's are often cheap, worth changing immediately.

Also had a friend who had a Medion laptop with the Nvidia defect. They denied it, he got nowt for it.

All of that said, the price is brilliant..

Looks good but would not buy medion again. Problem with keyboard for my medion laptop, phoned support to buy a replacement and they would not sell me one nor tell me the model number to source one myself. Its out of warranty so now I am left with a 300 euro unusable laptop. They quoted upwards of 120 to repair it themselves. No thanks

theres probably a generic part number on it you can search google/ebay for.

The i3 version of the desktop is in stock with the same amound of ram and the same 1TB hard drive. It is also 50 euro cheaper, works out about 300 euro for the desktop including mouse + keyboard.

Also to the people who worry about bad components, one of the pics online show the Medion desktop with a 350W Fortron PSU which is a good quality product and is definitely strong enough for this machine.

Medion were taken over by Lenovo last year; have a good rep for reliability.
