Medion Computers

[Turd Ferguson]

I'm in the market to buy a new PC and I went to Best Buy and noticed this brand. Aside from being cheaper then an HP (the only type of CPU I've ever owned) and offering more power then the closest HP computer in the price range, does anyone have any experience with these computers.

I understand that the company is from Germany and has just entered the US markets, but aside from that I wanted to see if anyone had any hands on experience.

No knowledge of the brand. But I think there is one consensus:

Best Buy = sucker price (whatever you buy)

Good luck.

I'm using a Medion right now. They are findeed airly big in Europe, in France anyway they're usually the bargain price PCs in supermarkets/department stores.

I've had mine for 3 years now (!!) and am quite happy with it. The problems I've had were mostly Windows related.

Also note that Medion basically just packages the box, all the internal stuff comes from other places. For exemple, mine has an AMD Athlon processor, a Seagate hard drive, CD and DVD drive by Phillips, etc...

I have seen those computers advertised occasiionally for sale at Aldi's (a deep discount grocery store) for very good prices.

A couple years ago I did some searching on the net and found mainly good reviews for their products.

They sell computers at grocery stores over there? Who knew? :confused:
