Review of BenQ Joybook 5000U

BENQ 5000 U, 1.4ghz, 256mb, 40gb

Advantages: This is the complete package, great for both work and study. Its cool color and design make it an attractive purchase, it is also lightweight and so far very durable (Ive had mine for six months) and the screen clarity is great for watching DVDs.

Great all round computer, would suit students and young professionals. It is a fantastic computer, it is asthetically pleasing with trendy colors, short cut buttons and accessible USB ports (3), volume at the side for easy sound control, other points are ...
