Systemax Medallion XVII – Laptop Mag
Laptop Magazine have published a review of the Systemax Medallion XVII desktop replacement PC. ‘The Medallion XVII has the same design as the ChemBook Z7-1719, but where the ChemBook’s lid simply says “Notebook,” the Medallion VII’s shell has a backlit sign on the lid that reads “Systemax.” Two points for Systemax remembering to put its name on the lid. The system looks relatively modern, with a glossy, all-black chassis that measures a svelte 1.3 inches thick but attracts smudges just as easily as the ChemBook. A 1.3-megapixel camera is above the display, flush with the casing.
We’re definitely not fans of the keyboard, which, again, is identical to the ChemBook’s. This system’s large keyboard border left too much space around the edges, leaving the layout unnecessarily cramped. As a result, Systemax includes a number pad but opted to shrink the Enter, Arrow, right Shift, and punctuation keys to make everything fit. The result is a confusing and annoying typing experience.'
