BenQ Joybook Lite U101 Reviewed

Still remember the Joybook Lite U101 from BenQ which comes with a unique emoticon design on the lid? It's one of the many netbook that's available in pink and was made available in Taiwan a while back. While the netbook is yet to be released in the U.S., Laptop Magazine has ordered a unit of Joybook Lite U101 from Taiwan, and published a review on this machine.


Their review unit comes with the following spec:

• 1.6-GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor
• 1.5/2GB expanable RAM
• 160GB/5,400 rpm HDD
• 10.1-inch display with 1024 x 576 resolution
• Windows XP Home

Given a rating of 2.5 out of 5, the BenQ Joybook Lite U101 was found to be having the same poorly placed right shift key that many other netbooks have. The poor battery life is another complains that the netbook gets from the review. On the good side, the Joybook Lite U101 is complimented for its unique lid design, compact build, bright & glossy display, and loud speakers.

Overall, we can say that the performance and features for the BenQ Joybook Lite U101 is just average. But what we like about this netbook is the unique cute emoticon design, and it has pink color available!
