Calling it an ultra-portable netbook, BenQ has launched its
latest Joybook Lite T131. Running on AMD’s Yukon chipset and Sempron processor,
the Joybook Lite manages to pack a 13.3-inch WXGA (1280x800) display with
anti-glare, 1 GB of RAM (upgradable to 2 GB), a 250/320 GB hard drive, a 2-in-1
card reader, and built in 802.11b/g/n into its body. The T131 weighs just under
four pounds and measures approximately 1.1 inches thick.
The T131 ships with Windows Vista Home Basic, but you can
upgrade to Windows Vista Business if you like. In terms of connectivity, the
T131 offers two USB 2.0 ports as well as a microphone and headphone jack.
There’s no word yet on pricing or a U.S. release date, but
Chinese customers should be able to pick up this netbook at the end of the
month.

Jennifer grew up around technology. From an early age, she was curious about all things related to computers. As a child, Jennifer remembers spending nights with her dad programming in BASIC and taking apart hard drives to see what was inside. In high school, she wrote her senior term paper on her experiences with building custom computers.
Jennifer graduated from the Jeffrey S. Raikes School of Computer Science and Management at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. After college, she began writing full-time for various PC and technology magazines. Later, she transitioned to the Web. In these roles, Jennifer has covered a variety of topics including laptops, desktops, smartphones, cameras, tablets, and various consumer electronics devices. When she's not playing with or writing about the latest gadget, Jennifer loves to spend time with her family, capture memories with her camera, and scrapbook.
