You have forgotten to mention that this "tempting portable" has a shocking thickness of 31.5mm!

Medion equals false economy
Medion notebooks are some of the noisiest things you will ever place in front of you.They have this cheap cooler fans which whistle like mad. Their customer service is poor and it seems they don't have any reputation to protect. I have also observed that Aldi are not so keen on the latest offerings by Medion. There is a couple of items on Medion website that were supposed to hit Aldi stores weeks ago, yet no store has them in stock.
