    4 Stars Benq Joybook Review 21/12/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Battery Life, Portability, Performance

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Could be zippier

    This laptop is a great compromise of performance, battery life, features and size. Firstly, being a 14.1" Model, it is noticeably more compact than comparable 15" and 15.4" widescreen models. The TFT Screen is clear and sharp, and perfectly suitable for all windows applications. The standard out-of-the box specs of this machine are quite reasonable, with 256Mb DDR Ram, 30GB Hard Disk Drive, CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive and wireless connectivity as well as traditional networking features. The Processor is a Centrino class Pentium M (Mobile) 1.4Ghz. The real benefit of such a chip is the power saving ... more

    5 Stars BenQ - The new Sony 06/07/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks good, Fast, Cheap, Great graphics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Flimsy feel, not enough RAM

    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 ... more

    5 Stars BENQ 5000 U, 1.4ghz, 256mb, 40gb 01/05/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages 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.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sometimes it can be slow, if there are a lot of programs open but this could be because the hard drive comes split in two, if you converted it to one it works much faster. My main problems come with XP.

    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 at the back and keyboard is very comfortable (to use for hours, as I have just completed my dissertation, I couldn't have done it without this comp.). There is loads of memory, the software it comes with Q music and Q movies are great for exploring editing and movie making, Power DVD is an easy to use package and with the screen clarity DVDs ... more
