14 DAY TRIAL // Earlier this month, we told you a new Medion convertible was spotted online. The company is most noticeably known for its Akoya P2212T 2-in-1 which is considered to be a pretty worthy ASUS Transformer Book T100 substitute.
But not so long ago, the rich data base that collects and rewards the most innovative devices designed, red dot 21 leaked a new Medion model, dubbed the Akoya S621xT.
At that point, we couldn't exactly tell you whether the machine was in concept or prototype stage and we argued it might be a while before seeing it arrive in retail.
Well, it appears the hybrid has already been listed, with a slightly changed name (Akoya S6214T) in Europe, with the entry mentioning the device will become available in April. Price specifications haven’t been revealed so far (via Markensysteme).
What was special about this product is that it was not only providing customers with the ability to switch between laptop and tablet model, but it also granted a third option.
The product integrates a tripod into its display that allows it to vertically stand on a desktop or tablet, thus allowing owners to use it as an AIO too.
The 3-in-1 comes with a spacious 15.6-inch display and draws power from an Intel Pentium N3520 quad-core Bay Trail processor combined with 4GB of internal storage and backed up by 500GB of internal storage. The keyboard part houses an additional 64GB of flash storage.
The IPS screen boasts a full HD resolution (1920 x 1080) and can be operated traditionally using the fingers, but also by virtue of the keyboard and a stylus companion.
The heart of the system is the so-called ConnectX keyboard, which connects the two worlds (tablet and notebook). Medion is also calling the “Edge Design Line” its unique solution of detaching the keyboard from the screen, in order to watch movies, play games or surf the internet.
At this point this is what we can tell you about the device and, as you can see, its strong points are the full HD screen, embedded Dolby sound system and stylus functionality.
Furthermore, if you’re looking for an atypical design, the new Akoya might be right for you, because we can’t say we know of many machines that can be used in tablet, laptop and AIO mode.
The Akoya S6214T runs Windows 8.1 out of the box, thus continuing on the tradition of the Akoya P2212T and competing with ASUS’ Transformer Book family.
