Cheapo budget brand, usually found in places like Lidl/Aldi.
I would recommend Samsung laptops. I've had laptops from all sorts of manufacturers over the years, and they seem to be the best in terms of build quality and look/feel (although this is reflected in the higher prices they are sold for).
Or get a MacBook Air/Pro if you want the best (at double the price of a Windows laptop)

upgrade to 8gb if you need it. theres no mention of whether that medion is 32 or 64 bit, which always makes me wary that theyve stuck an extra 4gb of unuseable ram in to make it look more impressive than it is

Thing is i want a 17". All Dell and Hp stuff is a lot more money for the same spec as the Mellon. Or cheaper with lower spec and screen size.
Shouldn't need to spend a grand on a laptop now days imo. That's what we spent years ago.

It's not brand new, just one somebody has sent back, with a 1 year nbd warranty.
