The new 16-inch notebook from Medion still has a sub-$1000 price tag, but there has been a couple of hardware changes that may not satisfy the needs of consumers looking for similar specs that the company has offered so far.
Sure the Medion E6210 comes with a 16-inch screen that displays movies in widescreen format (16:9) and an 8-cell battery that makes it last longer than other notebooks in the market, but some things had to be sacrificed. Some of the features removed (compared to Medion's MD96970) were: built-in webcamera and microphone, multimedia keys, fingerprint reader, and Nvidia graphics card.
Specifications-wise, the E6210 utilises Intel's Dual Core T3400 processor running at 2.16Ghz, has 3GB of RAM, 250GB of storage space, and uses Intel's Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD. While this chipset is good for playing videos, it won't be able to handle graphic-intensive games. This move may force potential buyers to look elsewhere.
