Reviews for the Medion Akoya S4216-MD99081

While the Medion Akoya S4216 (MD 99081) is an interesting Ultrabook, to be sure, the overall build quality is very much on par with the price point. It just doesn't feel solid and the culprit here is the keyboard, which bounces very noticeably as its keys are hit. That said, if you value specs and features more than input devices, then the Akoya is a champ.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
