    Yeah, I was a bit meh as well. But then I thought about it… I paid $316 for the Lenovo S10-3 and $207 for the EM350, and probably would have bought this Medion instead of the Lenovo except for the fingermarks (Lenovo is matt lid).

    There IS a considerable difference in quality between these $300 machines and the $200 eMachine EM350 (I've got both). Worth $100 more? I dunno - the way I worked it was that a decent battery was going to cost me $50 and there was still the lack of Bluetooth and only 2xUSB ports - that was the killer for the EM350, because you're battling for USB ports after adding a BT dongle so you can tether it to a phone.

    But if you want the CHEAPEST, this is not the right product. Just like a decent Logitech system is not the right product for somebody who wants the cheapest possible set of speakers.

  Given the specs, I reckon this is a pretty decent price! ;)

  3x USB is good, the two USB ports on my eMachine is a bit crippling occasionally. Bluetooth built-in would mean you don't need a dongle so you can actually use all your ports for something other than a mouse or keyboard.

  My eMachine was $210 after rebate from memory, but to get a 6 cell battery, bluetooth and a bigger hard drive would cost at least $100 more. $299.96 is a bargain if you want something a little higher spec than the $199 eMachine specials of late.

  I'm not too fussed about refurb stuff. If it lasts you 12 months under warranty it has equal chance of lasting much longer or dying soon after.

    In the past the term "ex-demo" has been used to describe "customer returns" under the Aldi 60 day return policy. I can only imagine this will be the case here also. Display case models in Aldi stores are sold instore by progressive discounting.

    You'd want to enquire about their dead pixel policy before committing to one of these.
