Medion releases budget Blu-ray lappie Check out HD movies on Medion’s affordable Blu-ray laptop

If you ask the Chinese they’ll say that 2008 was the year of the rat. If you ask us, we’ll say it’s been the year of the cheap laptop.

Other notable features include an Nvidia Geforce 9600M GS graphics card, Dolby Theater audio, an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB RAM, 320GB hard drive and a digital TV tuner.
