Reviews for the Medion MIM 2220

60% The cheapest Media Center notebook we've seen
Source: vnunet.com Archive.org version
While Medion's buy-in-bulk-sell-for-cheap business ethos will frustrate smaller computer manufacturers looking to put their stamp on the market, consumers will see its sporadic price-sensitive offers as prime bargain material. The latest cheapy to hit the street is the incredibly priced Medion MIM 2220, which is only available through Woolworths and Medion's online shop. At £399.99, it's amazing that Medion has actually been able to make a profit at this price. However, the trade-off for the buyer is a collection of lower-specified components. For example, at the slow-beating heart of the MIM 2220 is an Intel Pentium M 735A processor that runs at a clock speed of 1.7GHz.

15.40":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

2.9 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
