The touch screen also looks interesting.

ALDI - Thursday Special Buys 25th March 2010

Does anyone know how Windows 7 uses touch screens? Is it rather like using an iPhone?

 

[GrahamC230K]

It's a shame it isn't an Intel processor. I am less sure of AmD than I am with Intel but it doesn't seem that high a spec. I wish I got that original offer in January, at least that was a lot cheaper. Every time there is another Aldi Medion offer, the pundits say to expet a higher spec machine the following month or the month after. I've let two deals pass me by now and this most likely looking to be a third.

Can anyone offer any advice on this machine and where that processor sits in the AmD ranking?

the storage 1tb drive looks great value as well.

 

[Gollom]

Wireless USB Hub looks interesting too!

Liking that Hub and the Touchscreen monitor.... wonder if my local store will have either of them....

I think this looks to suit my needs better:

Can anyone trump that?

I am looking for best sub £500 deal I suppose.

Ideally i5 or i7 processor (although Intel Core 2 Qxxxx Quad Core considered at right price), 3-4GB RAM, 500GB+ HDD and Windows 7.

Good graphics card handy, but not for gaming so video and sound not important. Would like a mini tower so can add disks and card readers etc if required.

That Dell does look good for the money.

What's Windows 7 like? I've not heard anything positive so far

I had a look at the Aldi stuff, I could do with something a bit better but I'm quite attached to the old ThinkPad

 

[GrahamC230K]

I went for the Dell Vostro 430. A good buy so far as I can tell, I'm happy. There is still a similar offer if anyone is looking.
