Medion have announced the release date the Akoya Mini E1312. Just bordering on netbook size, it features an 11.6 inch display along with some great specs most laptops don’t provide. Medion are bringing the netbook specs up a notch and for pretty much no extra cost.

The E1312 features a HD resolution of up to 1366 x 768 along with a HDMI port for connecting it up to your TV while not on the move. The Akoya Mini E1312 also doesn’t feature an Intel Atom processor like most other netbooks but rather an AMD Sempron 210u power saving CPU and uses ATI Radeon TM Xpress 1250 graphics. Hard drive size is standard at 160GB. Other specs include three USB ports, 3 in 1 card reader, Windows XP operating system, 1.3 megapixel web cam along with 1GB of RAM, bluetooth, WiFi and an ethernet connection.

The Medion Akoya Mini E1312 will be available in the UK from Aldi starting July 12th. Pricing starts at £339.99 for a 6 cell battery and a three year warranty. A 9 cell battery option is also available.
