Medion Akoya E6227

Small and mobile ; Full-sized HDMI and SD card slot ; Full version of Office Home & Student ; Competitive pricing

Sluggish performance ; Keyboard layout

Good CPU performance ; Modular drive bay ; Long battery life

Keyboard ; Touchpad ; Sluggish hard drive

While the Medion Akoya S4216 (MD 99081) is an interesting Ultrabook, to be sure, the overall build quality is very much on par with the price point. It just doesn't feel solid and the culprit here is the keyboard, which bounces very noticeably as its...
