Benq Joybook Review

Advantages: Battery Life, Portability, Performance
Disadvantages: Could be zippier

...light PC to carry around. Benq is even kind enough to include a simple Polypropene (Think Wetsuit material) Slim Case for a little extra protection on the road. The included software is excellent, Windows XP Professional, NTI-CD Maker, Cyberlink DVD Viewer and maker, and Ulead Photo software. There is also some proprietary Q-music, and Q-Media software which help utilise hot keys and provide a worthy alternative to the windows media suite. A truly ...

Could have been better - Joybook

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

...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 ...
...his special display technology - BenQ UltraVivid. You can observe that on the first meeting with this notebook - the image is more shining, the contrast is very good and if you want to watch some movies or clips, then you must know that the 8ms response time will do perfectly the job. Now, almost all notebook models have webcam and microphone onboard. Maybe people have started to love this type of communication. This model respects the rule. Even ...

Putting the Joy back into notebooks

Advantages: Stylish, fast, packed full of features
Disadvantages: Short battery life, heats up quickly

...buy, I happened upon the BenQ JoyBook 8000 second hand & can't believe how packed with features it is. Appearance With a brushed steel effect cover & the Q Media buttons on the front, the JoyBook 8000 really is a classically stylish machine. The keyboard is very slightly translucent with deep blusih-grey keys, whilst there is a brass coloured strip around the edge of the case to stop it from looking too surgical. Screen Resolution & Clarity Despite ...

Connectivity I was astonished by the number of ports on this: 4 USB, 2 firewire (IEEE 1394), ethernet, modem, S-video out, RCA connector, parallel port, VGA & a PC card slot. In addition to this it boasts wireless connectivity and a dual drive (CD-RW & DVD Ease of use The front of the laptop offers a "Q Media Bar" which allows you to switch on music ...

Dell - Inspiron Mini 10 review

Advantages: Dell - Inspiron Mini 10 review
Disadvantages: Dell - Inspiron Mini 10 review

...of Intel's Atom processor. Instead Dell has opted for the Atom Z520 version in our review sample, which is clocked at 1.33MHz (there is a version powered by the 1.60GHz Z530). The Z520 has a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of just 2 Watts compared to the 2.5W of the N270, which would perhaps give the Mini 10 an edge over its rivals, but unfortunately Dell has given it a 3-cell battery instead of a 6-cell unit as standard. A 6-cell is available for an ...
...9.0 but without Microsoft Word. Dell insists that netbooks are only being used for email and web browsing but many of its competitors actually understand what people are doing with their netbooks in the real world, with many of the second generation netbooks recently released including full or trial versions of Microsoft Office or Star Office. After two netbook releases you'd think Dell might have a better inkling of how these products are used. ...

...that this is a fairly sizeable notebook at 337 x 252 x 28.7-30.6mm. It weighs 1.97kg. The build is fairly solid, though we did note some flex in the lid section. The lid itself is slightly shorter than the base, giving a distinctive look at the front of the notebook and allowing the status lights, which are positioned at the front of the laptop, to be visible even when the lid is closed. The keyboard is spill resistant. It exhibits quite a lot ...
