The Final Word

Medion's Akoya E6228 is a 15.6in notebook with good looks and solid build quality, not to mention plenty of features and a strong configuration. There's not much wrong with it at all, which is surprising given its attractive price point. It could use a slightly better screen a more battery life, but these are minor quibbles.

Review

While thin and light laptops are currently being pushed down our throats, it's easy to forget that 15.6in models are still among the most popular on the market. They may not be as easy to carry around on a daily basis, but they offer good bang for buck with regards to the specifications that you get, and they are comfortable to use for long sessions of word processing or other types of productivity tasks. Medion has been a facilitator of affordable and well-featured 15.6in laptops for a while now, and its latest model is the Akoya E6228 (MD 98980), which goes on sale at Aldi supermarkets this Saturday 28 April. It only costs $599, but it has a strong configuration, useful features, and a style that looks and feels good for a notebook in this price class.
