That's about £800 in our money and is pretty similar to what they sell for
here..I read the description on the last one they sold and it was all really
cutting edge, quality parts. good sound and video cards, plus smart card
readers, front USB and audio controls, CD-DVD writer. Windows XP, software
bundle...etc..etc..
The supermarket chain they sell through is called Aldi, which is a German
chain, and Medion is a German company. They usually sell the tower and
monitor separately, along with printers, reasoning that many people will be
buying a machine like this to replace a PC, rather than as a first purchase.
They usually advertise about 2 weeks before they are putting them on sale in
their stores and the shop stock sells out within a couple of hours. I
believe that the medion brand is also now appearing in PC World (a large
national computer outlet).
Check what sort of back up service you'd get, if it looks ok, I think you'd
be very happy with your purchase!
