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.
