BenQ Debuts New Slim Joybooks

BenQ has launched two new slim netbooks -- Joybook S35 and Joybook S43.


The 13.3-inch BenQ Joybook S35 and the 14-inch Joybook S43 weigh 1.5 kg and 2.1 kg respectively. These notebooks will run on Intel's latest ULV Pentium Dual Core SU4100 ULV processors which, according to BenQ, provide energy efficiency. Both the BenQ Joybooks are pre-loaded with Windows 7.

The Joybooks feature super-fast Wi-Fi, eSATA high-speed data transfer, and extra-long battery life. A suite of multimediainclude HDMI, dGPU (S43 only), a 2-channel TruSurround HD system, 320GB HDD, 8X Super-Multi DVD (S43 only), and UltraVivid high-definition LED screens sporting 16:9 aspect ratios.

The Joybooks S35 uses an 8-cell battery and provides up to 11 hours runtime, while the Joybook S43 uses a 6-cell battery, providing five hours runtime.

On the multimedia front, the S35 and S43 are equipped with a webcam (with Magic-I Visual Effects 2 and WebCam Companion 3), microphone, integrated speakers, a 2-channel TruSurround HD sound system with SRS Headphone 360, and a large-capacity HDD (available up to 500GB). Both models boast eSATA high-speed data connection for data transfer that's three times faster than USB 2.0. The S43 comes with an 8X DVD Super-Multi optical disc drive.

Both models, which claim to be wear resistant, are available in high-gloss Blue and Black colour. A full-sized keyboard (flip-top on S43) enhances user comfort while the gapless touchpad is placed seamlessly continuous with the palm rest. This continues placement of touchpad prevents accumulation of dust in crooks or corners.

The S35 also boasts a unique "flying eaves" hinge design and a raised dot pattern that distinguishes the palm rest from the sunken pattern of the touchpad for visual fluidity in design that is easily discerned by touch.

BenQ Joybook S35 and S43 are priced at Rs. 37,199 and Rs. 40,399 respectively.
