Hotter than the fires of hell!!! Look at this laptop!

[GoingUp]

I just wish I had the money to buy this, and that I wasn't in Europe right now. The only catch is being able to find one in the stores, cause you have to goto the B&M Aldi to get one....

uhm aldi is a real store, not a no name upstart... i think this was discussed before... it uses a desktop P4, not mobile, plus you have no idea what brand it is..

EDIT: Okay, its Medion. It sounds pretty decent if you want a complete desktop replacement, but I have no idea how heavy it is and *actual* battery life. They do not use CC to save the extra 1-1.5% surcharge, thus passing some of the savings to you.

The link didn't work for me the first time, but worked the second time.

It's a medion computer. They are made over here in Germany. Check out this review from a british site about another model that they made. It's got a one year warrenty and great specs....plus good software...how can you go wrong?

Why is it cash or debit card only? That sounds fishy.

 

[N8Magic]

Aldi is one of the biggest grocery store chains in Europe.

Nothing fishy about this deal.

This looks exactly like new the Dell Smartstep 250N notebooks that Dell released (these use the desktop P4's too). I was guessing that Dell was slapping their name on these since they are not configurable like most Dell laptops. The specs look the same.. check it out here Link

Aldi is a discount wholeseller like a Sams or such. The reason they only take cash or credit is so that they dont have to pay the Credit Card fees and then they can keep the prices down. I have a CD store back home that charges $2 less a CD if you pay with cash.

 

[TekDemon]

umm for the last time, this isn't fishy, aldi's a frigging supermarket. That's like saying Walmart is fishy because they're not accepting Credit Cards on something they're probably selling at cost to clear out so they don't lose that last 3%

I don't think it's fishy. You couldn't buy this online. It's in store only like Gobadgrs said.

hehe... i think you're right! the specs down to the touchpad are the same. i wonder if there are any quality control differences btwn medion and dell... i wonder.

 

[GoingUp]

Glad to see my first post on the forums here is such a success.....

Now that we've established that it's not fishy, how about someone picking me up one.
I'll be your bestest friend!

 

[kyutip]

I think I saw an Aldi store somewhere in LA.
I think they only have stores in west coast.

 

[GoingUp]

Sorry to let you know but all you west coasters are screwed out of the deal....the stores are only in the Midwest and easy coast. Find the store by you.

Follow this link

Find the store!

still waiting for someone telling me that theyll buy me one....

We have Aldi food stores all around Northeast Ohio, they are a major chain, I didn't know they sold computers!

Might have to check it out.

Nothing like picking up a lb of ground chuck and a laptop lol

 

[RSMemphis]

They started doing that in Europe. One kind of PC, massively purchased (brings down cost) and then sold for a low price.
It's a good idea...

I like it, but I'd prefer it for $900 with less options (do not need a desktop replacement)

 

[dapic]

probably not the same as the Dell. The Dell Smartstep 250N uses Intel 845 chipset, which is a desktop chipset supporting SDRAM. that is in line with their saying the machines use SDRAM (256M), while the Medions are said to be using DDR RAM (and 512M)!

 

[FiDo14DiDo]

So has anybody actually found one of these things in the stores yet? This is smokin'!!
