Medion Akoya E4325 D

Bought this as an alternative to an old laptop which had become slower than I would have liked. Was very pleasantly surprised at the speed of booting up and closing down, even though I loaded all the stuff from the laptop. The graphics are superb - I...

The blank on the front of the box could be made into another CD drive. What's the point of putting it there?

This PC was really easy to set up, it runs very quickly and overall performance is excellent.

The only problem I had was that the USB wireless adaptor that comes included in the PC didn't work so I couldn't connect to the internet immediately. Once I obtained a different adaptor it connected really quickly so the PC itself has no problem...

Great value for money, don't know about reliability yet (only had it a couple of months) but it seems OK. Hard disk is nice and quiet - WI-FI dongle is a a bit awkward to position (only points downwards or straight out - downwards obscures the other...

Only one optical drive and its not BluRay - pity because the graphics card is ideally suited for this and has an HDMI output. Software bundle does not include any DVD/Video processing software (all my previous Medion PCs did) and the burning software...

5.1 surround sound, simple to set up and quicker on the internet than my older machine or my laptop, all of which are wireless

Why have a dongle which sticks out the back of the machine when they can be put in internally, especially at this price

Looks good. Lightning fast. Really quiet. Overall a good quality reliable machine.

Windows 7 doesn't come with install disk. Software bundle not up to much.

Works OK off line. Excellent size hard drive. Windows 7 takes some getting used to after XP.

On Broadband connectivity is poor. Was OK on my old computer on XP. Only thing that's changed is the computer and OS. N ow have hourly problems with being cut off. Keyboard set up for USA. Cant find how to change it so the @ symbol is in the wrong...

- Fast processor - Good graphics card; handles all my HD movies with ease. - Plenty of RAM - Large hard drive providing ample space for movies and other big files. - Small casing - Overall excellent value for the price.

- Software bundle could have been better.

Have to install Word and Excel which I had already purchased on my old computer.

The CPU idles between 1-2% which is fairly good, you have plenty of hard drive space for what ever your needs maybe and a semi decent graphics card which can (at a push) support 2x 22" monitors. Unlike most PC's now it comes with a CD to boot from if...

The PC comes with 4GBs of RAM but a 32bit OS meaning that you only have 3GB's available. This is incredible annoying. A second screen will lag/flicker when running a DVD on one and notepad on the other. Which again is annoying because less than 5% of...

Fast processor Lots of memory

It maybe just my monitor but I have a problem with the sizing of web pages and my PS3 media server, appears bigger than the screen. Its probably just a setting that I dont know about.
