15-inch Laptop: Medion Akoya P6630

Since 17 It is February 2011 at the Aldi Medion Akoya P6630 15-inch monitor for 599 ¥. COMPUTER BILD has taken the dual-core under the magnifying glass - if the notebook is a price-Tip, the test.

Facilities

On the main board of the Medion Akoya P6630 Notebook, Intel's biggest processor (CPU) of the initial series Core i3: the 390M. Meanwhile, two cores each running at 2.67 GHz clock frequency. Also in the case presented in December 2010 CPU: the GMA graphics chip HD. As a separate graphics processor, however, the more powerful, since January 2011, available model Nvidia Geforce GT 540M installed in the notebook.

Capacity and upgrade

The 596-gigabyte hard drive provides ample space for programs, photos, videos, music and documents. If necessary, you build from the bottom of a second hard drive (500 GB, available for 100 ¥ for Medion) or a subwoofer module (40 euros). The latter should provide for better bass. For the connection of external hard drives, mice and USB flash drives, there are four well-placed USB ports. One of them even worked with the speedy USB 3.0 technology: In the test, she transferred nearly 56 megabytes of data per second from a portable hard disk on the notebook - a "satisfactory"value. External monitors come over VGA or HDMI connector to the Akoya. Wireless goes online it WLAN in the fast n standard.

Speed

With standard office programs like Word and Excel, the notebook in the test worked quite fast. Even surfing the Internet, it went quite fast. When graphically complex games, the laptop was in spite of the strong Nvidia graphics processor only about 22 frames per second. Reason: The main processor slowed the graphics chip out - a core i5 CPU would have improved the result safe. For smooth image reproduction normal titles such as "Fifa 11 " or "The Settlers 7" ranged from the performance. Photos, videos, music edit the Akoya in acceptable pace.

Display

The 15.6-inch display makes images with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels dar. The image quality was generally good and the monitor is almost entirely anti-reflective coating. On the display are no reflections present (such as ceiling lights).

Conclusion: Medion Akoya P6630

The Aldi-Notebook is a real price-Tip, laptops can offer similar not to the competition at this price to date. Modern processor, large hard drive, USB 3.0 - can no longer claim it for 599 ¥. The only drawback for the Akoya P6630 elaborate games despite a powerful graphics processor is not suitable.

Alternative: Acer Aspire 7741G-374G32Mnkk
