BenQ Joybook Q41

Advantages: Awesome design and taping quality
Disadvantages: A bigger RAM would do the job

...Each of us has something close to his heart. Somebody is dying for sport cars, others love works of art, and the third part is consisted of those who…love computers. For each one of these passions, it doesn't matter the cost for the pleasure, so I wanted to find a justification. Probably BenQ was counting the passions when creating this notebook. Many times, things are getting old and aren't anymore so usable. BenQ Joybook A53 relies on this thing. The maker integrated in the design all kinds of lines that intersect and look like scratches, which easily attract attention. Well, the effect is unusual and rather interesting. This notebook model will make a perfect fit for the chat-lovers or people who have to write down a lots of things. For not creating discomfort, A53 is build with a full keyboard which has full-size keys... Read review

...BenQ? Had you heard of them a few months ago? Well I hadn’t. BenQ are new to Europe although they are well established in the Middle East. If you hadn’t heard of them before Euro 2004 you must do now! When I saw this laptop for an insanely low price a few months ago I was a little skeptical, but after days of research I couldn’t find anything to compete with it, and became more confident about BenQs reputation. So I went ahead and bought it, and I can honestly say this was the best thing I have ever spent £850 on! The laptop comes with the Centrino 1.4Ghz which is approximately equivalent to the P4 2.2Ghz, with the benefits of greatly increased battery life. BenQs quoted life of 6h is not far off from the actual 5 hours that you get from the battery. It also comes with all the standard bits: DVD/CD-RW drive, 256Mb... Read review

Advantages: Nice sleek design, colour performance!
Disadvantages: Quite a few!...no audio loudpeaker !!!!!

...We live in a small world full of big electronic gadgets. In fact the electronic world is so big that my best friend has this BenQ wide format TFT screen. This multiple use screen can be used for a variety of tasks: from checking your email to watching a HD movie or even playing HD games via the HDMI port.. Also, its relatively cheap! However apart from the above advantages there are no other advantages (I watch movies, play games and even surf the net on the monitor every other day...so believe me when I say there are no other major advantages.) The average quality of this product almost infuriates me (you can see why it is relatively cheap)....(But I believe for what it's worth, it's very overpriced should be 180-220 pounds!.) Basically one of the biggest disadvantages is that this TFT monitor posseses no audio loudspeaker... Read review
