Connectivity is certainly not an issue, with the MD8828 having just about every port created. The back of the PC hosts a Digital TV tuner, a D-Sub, DVI, and HDMI port, an S-Video port, a Composite Cinch, a Component out port, Scart, 5.1 speaker ports (Front, Back, Centre/Bass, Side), Digital Audio Out (Optical and Coaxial), Live-in recording port, six USB ports, FireWire, Serial port, and PS/2 ports for the mouse and keyboard.
It seems that this is not enough for Medion though, as the company have placed a few more ports in front of the PC. Pressing the front bezel unveils an eSATA port, three card reader slots (SD/MMC/CF/XD), two more USB ports, a headphone and microphone jack, a FireWire port, a 4 and 6-pole connector, a composite-in port (audio and video), and an S-Video in port.

The MD8828 is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 processor running at 2.66GHz, has 2GB of RAM, and uses an Nvidia 8600 GS (256MB) graphics card. The computer runs on Windows Vista Home Premium and comes with various programs to suit one’s need. The applications included are: Nero StartSmart Essentials, Nero Express Essentials, Google Desktop Preferences, Bullguard (trial version), Microsoft Office (60 day trial), Microsoft Works, Home Cinema (MediaShow, PowerDirector, PowerDVD, PowerProducer), Nero 7 Essentials, Ulead PhotoImpact12, and even AOL Australia.
The MD8828 is versatile enough to be hooked up to any LCD or plasma screen, with all of its output ports working without a hitch. The video card can output up to a resolution of 1920 x 1080i/p via HDMI, which is good for users who have a Full HD set at home.

In addition, the built-in digital TV tuner means that you can watch and record your favourite TV shows on your computer, transforming the MD8828 into a PVR with a touch of a button. A remote is also included, making it easy for users to watch TV or movies. Users can also configure the PC to stream photos, videos, and music files using the Intel Viiv Settings manager. Wireless access also comes to play as the MD8828 also comes with Wi-Fi (802.11n) built-in.
Users who are looking for an affordable Entertainment PC should most definitely consider Medion’s MD8828. It can play HD discs, can connect to any TV set, and has an unbeatable price point. The only thing we recommend users to do is to purchase additional RAM sticks to improve performance and increase storage capacity to store more recorded shows.
