Reviews for the Medion E1311
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
Medion's new E1311 netbook rises above the crowd with its 11.6in higher resolution screen and AMD processors. This is a most promising package offered by Medion, distinguished by a slightly larger screen of higher resolution than most netbooks. And with its AMD processor and ATI graphics processor, its performance was just ahead of the Intel chips we usually see in netbooks. Unfortunately power consumption was also higher; so despite the reasonably sized battery pack, it could only run for around three hours off the mains. But the biggest letdown was the mirror-like screen finish, which meant constantly fighting with reflections just to see the desktop.
