BenQ eyes young professionals

Darius Chang | Sep 27, 2006

Executives who have just entered the workforce may have little income to burn on a portable, which is why they might appreciate the budget-level JoyBook R41E.

In a time when most vendors are rushing to hop onto the Core 2 Duo platform, BenQ has taken a slightly different route with this 14.1-inch portable. Based on the value-for-money Celeron processor, this is no Centrino as it goes with a VIA UniChrome Pro IGP chipset instead of the Intel mainboard. Without any of the fancy fluff of more expensive models, the R41E is the average Joe of the notebook world and meant primarily for word processing and simple computing task. With a starting price of US$750 (S$1,191.94) , it will be available this year in the fourth quarter.
