Reviews for the Medion Akoya E7220 (MD 98740)
Source: Good Gear Guide Archive.org version
Medion’s latest bargain laptop is a solid but simple product. It has reasonable specifications, although it shouldn’t be mistaken for a high-performance or gaming machine, and while its build quality isn’t exceptional it’s largely comparable to other budget machines from companies like Acer, HP and Asus.
