    Price/performance ratio: top!

    I first had a Toshiba Portege R830, 13", then a Toshiba Tecra Z50, 15", for business. I was/am very happy with both devices. However, I have always longed for more performance. The devices mentioned above are office notebooks, very light, very enduring, but not really suitable for image editing and/or games.

    I looked around for a long time. ASUS Gxxx, MSI GT72x Schenker XMG Uxxx, Alienware 17 Rx sw. ... I was relatively taken with the XMG models, but they would have cost over 4000 euros...

    By chance, I discovered this new Medion model on a notebook reviews site, which had just been launched on the market. A quick search and the purchase was made, even though some of the above-mentioned models performed better.

    Now, two weeks after the purchase, I am very satisfied with the device. I immediately replaced both HDDs (first 1TB on one drive, now 3TB, once 1TB "slim", 2TB normal) and installed a Samsung 850 EVO mSATA 500GB.

    I'm not buying the device to do tests, but to play games, edit pictures and watch films. So far, I have nothing really negative to say about it.
    I have to get used to Windows 10 a bit, but somehow I like the new operating system. Games are no problem thanks to the GTX980m. The processor is quite a leap forward for me (previously an i7 4600U...).

    I can't say anything about reliability yet, it's only been in use for a fortnight....     

    Pro

    • Powerful
    • Space for 4 drives, two HDDs (7mm, 9mm), two mSATA drives
    • .Relatively true-colour screen, though not perfect
    • Stable, nice case
    • Not much bloatware installed
    • .Not too flashy, but still some nice touches in/on the case
    • Good keyboard
    • Price/performance unbeaten

    Contra

    • .Contrary to all research, it's not this special edition with Kingston SSD/RAM
    • Large power supply
    • Speakers could be better. A BOSE Soundlink Mini II remedies this.
    • the digit "0" in the number pad only one key, not the wide variant
  • TiCal3000

    absolutely recommend

    I have read a lot of reviews and have come to the conclusion that this is the best value for money. I have to say that I ordered it during a promotion. Nevertheless, the normal price is still very good. If I configure an Alienware accordingly, the price is higher.

    After a few days of use, I can say that every gamer will enjoy it. It runs like a "handset".
    Somewhat negative is that the keyboard illumination could be even better. The narrow zero and shift keys also take some getting used to at first. I don't see the often negatively mentioned heat development as a problem - every gamer laptop gets hot when you push it to the limits. Some may be bothered by the lack of a drive. But in the age of Steam, that's not really a problem - the laptop is thinner than some others.

    I played these games at maximum resolution, without any limitations:
    Elite Sniper 3
    Tom Clancy's the division (New York)
    Rome II
