£700 - what's the catch?!

Google 'MEDION® ERAZER® X6815'

£700 gets you a i7-2630QM, GT 555M and 1080p screen...only downfall is the glossy black plastic chassis... :confused:

Look's like a bargain.. Though I thought we couldn't link to competitors?

Edited...

EDIT: Review pointed out some problems; poor trackpad, DDR3 GT 555M, screen a little bit iffy and 5400 RPM drive.

I've been asking myself the same question, but about the X6813, which is more expensive than the X6815! :confused:

4% cashback through topcashback too.

if you love collecting fingerprints that is a bargain,

depends on warranty etc as well though imo

They were brought by Levono a while back so I'd imagine that they are using Levono support bases now?

Depends what you want, you'll get a much better all rounder in the Dell 15z for a little less money (£630 after codes with an i5, 4gb, 500gb, GT525m). Slimmer, lighter, bit better made and a longer battery life.

For outright speed it seems ok though.

Was looking at a Medion earlier, I can get 15% off too but the person I was buying it for didn't really care for specs just one they liked the look of.

The specs do look good for the money.

We sell Medions where I work, wouldn't own one myself. They look and feel very cheap, a lot like Acer did 5 years ago or so.
