This looks like the same model they sold last week in Australia.
There seems to be a few problems with it at the moment.

Medion seems to be a fine value brand, but don't even tryto go in the Sony forum and call them better, LOL.

Thanks for the replies. Lots of reading there.
Most useful was the Model number MD96500 which allows me to search this Laptop on Google.
I might give it a bash, and return it if its got problems.
The VAIO btw has give sterling service for 4 years
Suddenly the screen fades after the initial loading bar on Boot? -
4 years for a notebook isn't too bad. The hardware gets pretty obsolete over that time anyway.

I will be in a queue outside Aldi in the morning -
Purchase this item
Its excellent.
I have not had the australian problems.
This was a driver issue which appears to have been fixed.
