    NO. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

    Ahem. Ok, they are just rebranded Acer laptops.

    I'm not sure about laptops, but for their desktops, you end up paying 3x-5x the value of the computer at the end with interest, etc.

    I'd really recommend from looking at them

    So do you recommend them or not... i kinda got confused there with your comment

    And can you point out what models they have rebranded... the MDG website doesn't give infomation about weight for some reason

    MDG's desktop's aren't at all BAAAD if you are seeking to purchase a system for just web surfing or normal word processing.

    They're noteobooks suck imo. Poorly designed, even their high end laptops --very bad.

    I dont know much about this rebranding scheme all yous talkin about.

    Don't buy anything from MDG. Get yourself a budget laptop from dell or hp instead.
