Actually, Medion is a Muelheim, Germany based company and I’m writing this replay using an E1210 – the apple white edition :-)). So far a really nice little toy. Specially the 80 GB sata2 disk is convenient, its about the size my 1 year old professional thinkapd t-60 features.
Its being sold for €399 retail (abt. 600 or so) and my wife is exited and will oen it as soon as I removed all the unneccessary add-ons which waste just disk space…

BTW, no bluetooth- its an optional feature (abt. €25, 40) – but I hardly miss it with the sensitive WLAN and three spare usb2 slots.
oops, keyboard error. the numbers beside the €-Euro prices should have a
$ Dollar sign in front. Will say E1210 can be abt. $600 and the bluetooth option abt. $40

These are now on sale in the UK at Carphone Warehouse either as a freebie with orange broadband running XP or for £219 running Ubuntu Hardy Heron! This is a bit of an Asus killer if it stays at this price!

It is better then the eeepc!
Ik heb de Akoya mini nu 5 dagen, het is een geweldige laptop.
Voor deze prijs zit alles er op. goede Wlan, snel, helder en scherp beeld, lekker toetsenbord.
met een memorystick is zelf het gemis van een DVD-ROM zelf niet zo’n gemis.
Lekker apparaat.
