Medion Akoya 10.2-inch Netbook Attends the Computex
Posted in: 10-inch, competitor, tags: akoya, low-cost pc, medion, Netbook
Another netbook that made an appearance during the Computex is Medion’s Akoya netbook which we covered not so along ago here at Eee PC Blog and which used to go by the name Akoya E1210. Although not as popular as the other major netbooks – MSI, Asus and Acer, the Akoya netbook still wallops some feature punch that should give the Eee PC 901 and the MSI U100 a run for their money.
Tweak Town managed to take some pictures of the actual unit as well as a snapshot of the Akoya’s spec sheet.
- 10.2 inch WSVGA LED display
- 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor
- Windows XP
- PCI-E Fast Ethernet
- 802.11 WIFI
- 1 GB DDR
- 80 GB SSD storage
- 1.3 webcam
- 3 cell battery pack
The report did not indicate pricing information for the Akoya. But the last we covered it, the SRP was said to be at around $623.

Not that it matters much, but that should probably be 80 GB HDD, unless they’ve included some 16 GB flash drives inside somehow.
Anon: I agree, this must be a typo, no way that they have a 80 GB SSD.
I checked around more, and it dont seem as a typo, check out this picture on the specifications from Medion:

It seems strange if Medion have done such a big mistake on their own information!!
Adam – I couldn’t believe that spec as well when I first read it. Most probably it was a mistake which we have no right to correct.
I’ve read elsewhere that this model is basically a rebadged MSI Wind, so it would be an 80GB HD, not SSD.
