Reasons for Buying My main reason for buying the Akoya EX was its price to performance ratio. I was originally looking for an ultra portable, but was able to pick up this notebook at Best. Buy for significantly less than cost of something like Apples 1. Powerbook. At 5 pounds, its reasonably compact and the battery life is great, so I can use it at school or on the road. On top of that, 1. Basically, this seemed like a great deal that I could not pass up. Design and Build Quality The Medion Akoya EX definitely looks different from most notebooks. Its wide and short, strongly resembling a large college textbook in its shape. The battery noticeably sticks out the back, which some will certainly dislike. The case is made from white plastic that feels solid, but will scratch quite easily. Overall, it looks quite elegant and modern and a whole lot better than an i. Book which is the only other white laptop Ive seen in person. A metal casing, such as the one found in Power. Books, would suit it even better, but were talking about a budget laptop hereBackside of Medion Akoya EX view larger imageRight side of Medion Akoya EX view larger imageFront side of Medion Akoya EX view larger imageBack side view of Medion Akoya EX view larger imageThe screen appears to be well designed. It locks in place when closed, so it will not open at the least appropriate moment. However it could use more resistance in its open position, as it tends to oscillate slightly when given a push. This could become a problem later on, when the screen hinge loses even more resistance due to aging. There is no ripple effect when pressure is applied to the back of the screen. Earlier reviewers complained about lack of a Wi Fi switch. They overlooked one of the nicest features of this notebook its use of the function keys. When a special Fn key is pressed, they become shortcuts to an array of features for example, FnF1 switches Wi Fi on and off, while FnF1. Its possible to adjust screen brightness, audio volume, even enter a power savings mode with one keyboard stroke, without using the operating system. This allowed the designers to get rid of mechanical switches entirely with the exception of the awesome power button that gradually lights up when the computer is turned on. When using function keys in this manner, confirmation is displayed on screen similarly to turning up the volume on a TV. Mysteriously, after the notebook goes through hibernation these messages stop appearing although the shortcuts still work. Another neat little feature is the array of blue lights near bottom left corner of the keyboard. These are standard Caps. LockNum. LockScroll. Lock indicators, HDDDVD activity lights and a Wi Fi indicator. The built in microphone is also located there. The unusual shape of Akoya EX creates at least one problem its hard to find a fitting sleevebag none was supplied with my purchase. Without one, this notebook will have scratches all over it in no time unless you only use it at home. Screen The Akoya EX features a high contrast 1. It has glossy coating to provide richer colours and it does not disappoint. Image quality is superb and its even possible to use it outside, with the brightness maxed out although it still takes time getting used to. The screen features 1. No ghosting when playing games or watching DVDs and no dead pixels either. A. In case 1. 4 is not big enough for you, DVI D and VGA outputs are present and allow connecting to your TV or monitor. Keep in mind that the video is provided by an onboard Intel Extreme Graphics 2 chipset, which is not suited for high definitionhigh framerate content. Speakers The speakers are the first major disappointment. They are located directly under the screen, about 5 inches apart. While having two speakers gave Medion an excuse to use the word stereo, they are still directly in front of the user at all times, producing pretty much mono sound. The sound itself is weak, with almost no base. Try maxing out sound on regular earphones, put them directly in front and youll get an impression of the kind of audio experience these speakers offer. Thankfully, the audio output provides quality sound when using headphones, so make sure to get yourself a good pair of thoseProcessor and performance The notebook features a 1. GHz Pentium M CPU with 5. MB of DDR memory. This provides a great experience doing everyday tasks. Internet, word processing and other simple applications are responsive and snappy even at 6. MHz. Watching DVDs is a smooth experience, especially when using Cyberlink Power. DVD, which is supplied with the purchase. The boot times are generally under 2. I consider to be quite appropriate. It takes 3 seconds for Akoya EX to wake up from stand by mode compared to about 8 seconds for hibernation. The fan is off most of the time and only turns on during CPU intensive tasks which is a good thing, since its quite loud. The case gets warm after prolonged use, not burning hot or anything like that, but enough to make your lap sweat a little. A major, but expected weakness of this notebook is its inability to run demanding 3. D games. The Intel Extreme Graphics 2 chipset is similar to a Radeon 7. This means youll have to stick to the likes of Quake 3 Arena if you like first person shooters. Interestingly enough, Half Life 2 worked of course all quality settings were at their lowest It ran at about 1. However it crashed when I tried navigating the Options menu in game.
