BenQ’s past efforts at netbooks have never really inspired much interest on our part due to their basic specs and uninteresting hardware designs. But the JoyBook Lite U103 – which won a coveted 2010 iF Design Award – could very well change the company’s position in the market. The U103 is anything but ordinary, with a dual drive architecture that pairs a huge 500GB hard drive with an optional 32GB SSD, SRS TruSurround HD audio, and SRS CS Headphone (a technology that simulates 5.1-channel surround sound over standard headphones). It comes with a 3-cell battery as standard – which lasts around four hours – and an optional 6-cell battery that runs for eight hours. BenQ’s Q-charge technology offers a quick recharge function that can restore 4.5 hours of battery life (with the 6-cell battery) in just an hour of charging. With the 3-cell battery attached, the U103 weighs 1.1kg and measures under an inch thick.
