Correct, this is terrible resolution for such a large screen. The other specs are ok for something in this price range, but nothing spectacular.

You can buy this HD Camcorder at Wallyworld for $180 and add the 3 year warranty for $29 more and come out ahead.

Because all the higher resolution does is make things smaller.

It is an off brand laptop for $700 plus tax. Head over to any of the D3ll "days of deals" laptop deals and configure a nice system for the same or less.

Dennis

Ask anyone to name the top 5 notebook computer makers, heck even the top 10, and "Medion" is not going to be on the list of anyone. Well, I guess YOU might put then on your list . $700 plus tax will get you a nice D3ll or other brand name.

Dennis

Please!....I'm just an old guy looking for a nice product for a nice price is this a deal or what?

for the price, these are nice specs. the screen resolution isn't as terrible as everyone says, and if you're an "old guy" it might be easier on your eyes.

i know a lot of people that run their 19" monitors in 1024x768 mode (not native!) because they can't see the small stuff.

i can't comment on medion, never bought their stuff.

the real question is, as one other poster mentioned, how much does it weigh, and what's the battery life?
