Medion's 11.6-Inch Akoya Mini E1312 Netbook Introduced, Has AMD Processor Inside

Not sure if Intel has any reason to be worried, but looks like more and more companies start ditching the Atom-based processor and jump on AMD’s trendy CPU wagon, with Gateway, only recently implementing the Athlon 64 L110 inside its LT3100 11.6-inch netbook and now Medion, housing the Sempron 210U processor inside its latest Akoya Mini E1312 machine. But processors aside, Medion’s new netbook, has a lot more to offer with a nice 16:9 11.6-inch 1366 x 768 display inside, paired with ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 graphics accelerator and an HDMI output to boost your high-def videos. Other than that, you should expect getting 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive 3-in-1 card reader, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity, 6-cell battery (9-cell optional), and Windows XP aboard – all priced at £339.99 (around $550) – from July 12th, exclusively at Aldi UK. Still no word about a Stateside release, so stay tuned.
