Medion Akoya E7222 (MD 99260): Aldi laptop from September 5, 2013

The Aldi laptop Medion Akoya E7222 (MD 99260) will be available from September 5, 2013 at Aldi Nord. For the price of 399 euro users get a 17-inch notebook with Windows 8 and relatively good equipment, but with limited game performance. The Intel Pentium 2020M processor, also installed in the current version of the Medion Akoya E6234, features two 2.4GHz Sandy Bridge-based cores and an integrated graphics solution of Intel HD Graphics at HD-2500.

The team of Intel CPU with integrated GPU backs up to 4 GB DDR3 RAM, a 500 GB hard drive, a DVD burner, which describes all important disk types, and more. The system fires Windows 8 on a 17.3-inch 16: 9 screen with a resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels. The Medion Akoya E7222 (MD 99260) supports USB 3.0, WLAN-N, Gigabit LAN, Bluetooth 4.0 and HDMI (out). A card reader is also available for peripherals.


The screen is matt, so the laptop is theoretically suitable for outdoor use under the sun. However, the Medion Akoya E7222 (MD 99260) is more suitable as a desktop replacement than a replacement for the computer at home because of the device dimensions of 421 x 35 to 43 x 280 millimeters and the high weight of 3 kilograms. As such, you can use the laptop when high performance is less important to you. Both the two-core processor and the graphics solution are too slow for current games or other complex 3D calculations. In addition, the low resolution on such a large display makes it possible to recognize individual pixels.


If you want to surf the web instead, edit a photo or cut clips for Youtube, then the Medion Akoya E7222 (MD 99260) is well-served. In addition to Windows 8, there is a comprehensive software package, which consists partly of shareware, which is to be released for a fee after a short test phase.
