Gadget of the Day – Medion Akoya Mini E1210

The battle of the netbooks is hotting up in the supermarkets across the nation.

After releasing its full-size Akoya S5610 in Sainsbury’s last month, Medion is putting its Akoya Mini E1210 on the shelves there too.

Looks like it’s in direct competition with the similarly-specced Dell E-Slim netbook going on sale at Tesco for the same price.

The E1210 comes with a 1.2GHz Intel Atom processor and 1GB RAM. While the 80GB hard drive means there’s lots of room for all digital clutter.

The 10 inch screen is big enough for web browsing and blogging duties, and there’s a full keyboard for the sausage-fingered.  Draft-N wi-fi should keep your ‘net connection ticking along nicely, too.
