The Medion MD97310 sports the same piano black exterior (still prone to fingerprints), keyboard layout, and brushed aluminium interior as the MD96940 (to hyperlink) we reviewed in April, although this 17-incher is packed with better specifications.
The MD97310 uses an Intel Core 2 duo T5800 processor running at 2.0Ghz, has 4GB of RAM, and uses Nvidia's GeForce 8600M GS graphics card with 512MB GDDR2 memory. It also comes with a 320GB hard drive (Partitioned to Boot (271GB) and Recover (26GB)) for storing games, music, movies, and important documents.
The unit has an abundance of ports. The notebook comes with a 4-in-1 card reader, three different input and output jacks (microphone, headphone, and S/PDIF), an ExpressCard slot, an Ethernet port, a DVI-out port, an HDMI-out port, and four USB ports for optimum connectivity. The unit also has draft-N Wi-Fi built-in, giving users fast wireless connection anytime. The unit also comes with BD drive that plays Blu-ray discs, but more on that later.
