With its cute looks and design, this one seems to be for the young college girl. But will it live up to their expectations?
Small & light weight, 4 USB ports, FireWire, Web camera, Battery.
Performance, Price.
The whole trend of affordable notebooks kicked off with the Eee PC. On the other hand, recently reviewed MSI Wind came by and made the choice obvious. BenQ has one to offer as well. Their JoyBook Series of notebooks are compact and doesn't really flare its performance which seems to be more-or-less on similar lines. Let's see if it can upset things as they stand.
Wrong !!! Any sane person who wants 'portability' will go for something small. Its not just the weight but the dimensions as well. I have a 15.4" laptop and a 14" laptop. The difference in weight is just 300 gms (2.4 kg vs 2.7 kg) but I dont use the 15.4 inch laptop because its dimensions are too big. A 13.3" laptop is far more portable and it comes under the thin and light category.

Though the features are good and the notebook looks "Macbook" - like; for the price mentioned above one can buy a Dell Inspiron 1525 or 1420 with 2GB RAM, Windows Vista Home premium thrown in and a few more goodies like a inbuilt bluetooth, a larger hard drive and of course Dell's gr8 product support. Only thing thats a minus in a dell is the weight and maybe the material used in the lappy from BenQ. But anyone sane would not give a damn over an increase of 200 to 300 gms of weight in a dell where hez gonna get better performance and service,
