BenQ wants a piece of that netbook action and it has a JoyBook to prove it. The computer comes with a 10 inch screen, a 160GB hard drive, Windows XP on board, 1.5GB of RAM and a full version of Office 2003. Notice the differences? The extra RAM is very welcomed and the Office 2003 kit will be put to good use.

The JoyBook is also easier to upgrade. You can access the HDD, the RAM and there are slots available for a SSD or a mini PCI-e. The netbook will cost around $550 in Taiwan but arrival dates and prices in other markets are still unknown. The price is not bad at all considering the differences between regular netbooks and what BenQ has just revealed.
