BenQ Joybook Lite U121 Eco netbook

BenQ's new netbook has a big 11.6-inch screen and long battery life

11.6in screen with a 1366x768 resolution, long battery life, large keyboard

Keyboard is bouncy and keys are too stiff, lots of unused chassis space

The Joybook Lite U121 Eco is a good option for anyone who wants a big netbook with long battery life. It has an 11.6in screen and a mostly full-sized keyboard, and a 6-cell battery. However, its build quality could be better and we'd like BenQ to...

BenQ Joybook Lite U121 Eco

With "Eco" and "Lite" in its name does that mean the U121 is a product with fewer features with a high price for the sake of being branded as environmentally friendly?

Environmentally friendly. Standard-sized keyboard.

Linux version is for start-up purposes only. Speakers direct sound downwards.

Besides our small misgivings of receiving a Linux version for start-up purposes only, the Windows version performed admirably. It's a decent-sized netbook for just under AU$900 that is suitable for anyone on the move.

Tip: It’s the upgradeability of the BenQ Joybook Lite U101 that is it biggest selling point. There is 1GB of DDR2 memory built in to the netbook, but if you remove the bottom panel you can install 1GB in the vacant SO-DIMM slot. Memory upgrades are...
