Dell Studio 15 vs Medion S5610

[ej159]

I'm a student and I'm looking to get a laptop for around £400-£600. I want something that will cope happily with photoshop inside of general everyday multitasking.

I kind of narrowed down my search and was pretty contented on getting a dell studio 15 specced out to around £600 but then saw an offer on a Medion S5610, that is arguably a better spec, at around two hundred pounds less at a supermarket.

Is there any disadvantage in going with the cheap make that I'd never heard of rather than the, seemingly more expensive, well known brand?

And why do I feel so awkward at the idea of buying a laptop from a supermarket?!

Thanks

If the spec really is better then get the cheaper one, no real difference is going to be found between the two.

My mate has a Medion, but an older model I think.
The build quality might not be as good as the Studio's, but the saving of £200 would definitely make it more 'attractive'.
