The analyst firms data showed that in June the average cost for a Windows laptop was $US700, compared to $US1515 for an Apple equivalent.

Which is fair enough I suppose, as a lot of users only visit this supermarket to do their groceries. But Aldi’s latest offering, the Akoya MD8390 from Medion, is by far one of the best desktop PCs you can find for its price.

A computer that had Blu-ray, HDMI, an external storage bay, 2GB of RAM, 500GB drive, Nvidia graphics card, TV tuner, an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, as well as software that delivers both media centre capability and traditional computing. But the catch is that it has to be under $1,200. Well, the answer is good old Medion, a German computer Company who is selling a superbly engineered workstation via Aldi stores.

Small laptops may have been hogging the limelight lately, but Dell's new micro PC could bring attention back to the desktop real estate.
