Hardware Of The Medion Akoya P5105 D
Comprehensive graphics and video editing is almost unlimited. If it is more demanding, eg with 4K resolutions for video editing or elaborate 3D games in high resolutions, users with (more expensive) alternatives or certain purchases are better advised. After all, the well-equipped tower can easily be upgraded.
Conclusion on the Medion Akoya Medion Akoya P5105 D
The Medion Akoya P5105 D (MD 8856) is based on a powerful Core i5-4460 of the Intel mid-class with four cores and 3.2 GHz. The integrated graphics solution Intel HD 4600 dominates DirectX 11 and can be compared with the lower middle class of the GPU heavyweights Nvidia and AMD. Games are supported, but with many details and high resolutions depending on the title, however, stalled. Here, gamers - as well as upcoming CAD and video professionals who need a more specific acceleration via GPU - can retrofit a corresponding graphics card.
Together with the four core CPUs of the Medion Akoya P5105 D (MD 8856), 8 GB of RAM and an SSHD hard drive with 1 terabyte of storage space ensure smooth operation, even in multitasking scenarios. SSHD is a hybrid solution of fast SSD and common magnetic disk. The installed SSHD uses 8 GB as flash memory and the rest as conventional memory. One of the extras of the system is a card reader and a DVD burner. Also included are a keyboard and a mouse.
The Medion Akoya P5105 D (MD 8856) has the latest standards: USB 3.0 is on board as well as Gigabit LAN, WLAN-n, 6-channel audio including headset connections (jacks for microphone and headphones) as well as HDMI, VGA and display port. As an operating system, Medion provides Windows 8.1, which can be upgraded free of charge to Windows 10 during the summer. Full versions come bundled with Cyberlink and Ashampoo. As 30-day test versions, Office 365 and McAfee LiveSafe are preinstalled. As free alternatives after the 30 days OpenOffice of Apache and free virus scanner from AVG, Avira & Co. offer.

The Medion Akoya P5105 D (MD 8856) is a high-performance multimedia system for 499 Euros, which is able to meet current tasks in the semiprofessional field. If certain features are missing, the hardware can retrofit relatively easily - for example a graphics card. The PCI Express slot on the LGA1150 board keeps space free. We can not say about the RAM equipment with the specs, but 8 GB should be sufficient for private users as well as for productive work in the office.
Weaknesses are the DVI output, which is missing from the data sheet. We would also like a Blu-ray drive. For a bit more performance would provide a full-fledged SSD. In addition to further, light criticism of the limited test versions of Office and the virus protection, there is little to complain about with a three-year warranty.
