Medion computers

[Vinjo]

has anyone ever heard of this computer company? know anything about this company?

or have a computer made by this company?

Yup.

They are based out of Germany actually.

If you are buying retail, & not building it yourself, they actually tend to be better built than most brand-names.

That being said, i would still recommend building your own.

just wanted to know if anyone knows anything else about the company cuz i certainly cant find reviews or any information about their other products.

for such a fine computer i am shocked there is not bigger media publicizing it

Hmm...okay.

Odd that you're asking now that you've had it for so long now though...


And when i mentioned they are well-built compared to other brands...i was referring to desktops.
However, their laptops seem alright too

i ask only now because i am looking to purchase a new computer... or build my own.... i wanted to see what medion had to offer since i am impressed with their laptop... however there is almost no advertisng done by them. and certainly very few reviews

A friend got a P4 2.66\Ti4200\120GB Medion desktop a couple years back and it's perfectly fine except for only having 256MB of RAM. Hasn't had any problems at all with it.

This thread should help if you decide to go to DIY route

Here in the US, the Medion brand is generally sold through the Aldi grocery stores although I have also seen it at some big-box store or other. I think Aldi has their Christmas special system on sale right now. It's a really hot box for around $700. (monitor extra). I'm sure it was posted in the Hot Deals section here - just search on Aldi or Medion.

Aldi in the UK regularly have weekly special offers. Medion systems look pretty neat for pre-built jobs and ComputerActive! seems to like them.

I think they'd be a great choice if I didnt build my own.

Medion is best known for supplying PCs to the Aldi chain which is very big in Germany. You won't see much advertising from them because they mostly built to order for large chains of retailers. They are usually good PCs with a good price/performance ratio.

yeah we sell a laptop for $999.99 CAN ( great price ) with Celery 2.6/512/60/DVD-RW/802.11G...I love selling the extended warranty to customers based on their ignorance
