BenQ Joybook Lite U121 Eco review
As the name suggests, the new BenQ Joybook Lite U121 Eco is being billed as a netbook that is more environmentally friendly than the competition.
Ben Q claims that it uses less power than most other netbooks, thanks to the Intel Atom Z530 processor which only requires a maximum of 2 Watts of thermal design power (TDP). 2.5 Watts is the average for other netbooks.
The BenQ Joybook Lite U121 Eco is also sold in recycled material, with minimal packaging used.
The other main “green” feature of this netbook is the 11.6-inch screen, which BenQ says is mercury-free and uses a low-energy LED backlight.
This netbook comes in two versions, Windows XP Home and Linux. Both versions are equipped with Bluetooth 2.1, 802.11b/g/n wireless and 10/100 Ethernet.
The BenQ Joybook Lite U121 Eco sells in Australia for $899.
