BenQ Joybook Lite U121 Review
Published by OnlyBestLaptops, on Sep 13 2010, in the categories: BenQ
The mini laptop and accessories comes packed in a box easily transported, although not handle. Package contains: Mini laptops, 6 cell battery, Windows XP, pouch, charger, CD installation, technical instruction manual. Test package does not come even with all the accessories, which is why we can not present them to you.
BenQ Joybook Lite U121 cross is a mini laptop with 11.6 inch screen, so very light and compact. You’ll liked its shape, rounded corners, robustness and elegance. Even the glossy casing impressed us even if you mirror in it and can see all the prints. The keyboard is full size 100%, with keys well constructed, so not much of how to reach more of the mistake. No touchpad we were not disappointed, being fairly well-defined, with a single button and practical use. Because of cylindrical joints borrowed from Sony Vaio, display opens to 180 degrees, plus one for mini laptops.

Performance and Features
Being a mini laptop or netbook, how would you tell, I tested for which he was created, namely for applications like Office, Internet and multimedia, but at a lower level. On the office side has done well. Do not be too much computing power to open a Word, Excel or other office software and solutions. The keyboard is practical, comfortable, made for fast typing.
On the Internet, mini laptop has been tested on web browsing, yahoo messenger, online radio, online TV, etc.. It has done quite well. Video-conference did it on Yahoo Messenger with 1.3 MP web camera, a modest room. Online radio and TV online functioned smoothly. Sound is played by 2 little speakers, a sound system satisfactorily, but not praised.

On the multimedia side, I managed to watch some movies, but I heard music and we had the run of games not the hardware claims. 11.6 inch display with a resolution of 1366 x 768, 16:9 LED backlight and UltraVivid technology, seemed quite appropriate for this mini laptop. If it is too large, then tends to disappear laptop and mobility, and if too small, then the user should make a greater effort to watch movies or read favorite sites and even documents. 11.6 inch screen would be perfect.11
