Reviews for the Medion Akoya E1232T-MD99410
Source: Good Gear Guide Archive.org version
Like most Medion products, the $399 price tag for this tiny laptop is as competitive as it gets considering what you get, and it includes a licence for the full version of Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013. Its performance and the keyboard layout are the only issues that are of concern, though if you don’t have plans on running heavy tasks on it, it will be fine, and you can get around the keyboard issue with third-party remapping software.
