This is to serve as a warning to anyone who is interested and/or ordered one of these laptops.

150 bucks for a laptop, ideal for web, email, writing, and other tasks that doesn't require a beefy computer. Sounds too good to be true, right? It is.

Recently, there has been a shitstorm around Medison, the swedish company who claim to be able to sell this. In a recent pressconference, they showed up with the laptop they sell, with the serial number and manufacturing sticker label scratched off. "To protect the manufacturer" they say. But of course they underestimate peoples ability to research, and it turns out to be nothing but a copy of the laptop Clevo M540. And Clevo say they have absolutely no cooperation with Medison.

Not going to go any futher, so here's the link to a blog covering the whole Medison thing : http://www.medisonscam.info/

Plus, the head of Medison have registered 5 companies in the past named Medison something, and 2 went bankrupt and the rest just disappeared.

Do not order any laptop until their first shipment have been confirmed and people actually received it.
