The Joybook R43 is designed to capture the spirit of a great metropolis, said BenQ. The Joybook R43 features a deep black lid accented by a unique ornamental band. The unique ornamental band was imprinted with Laminar Film technology to outline a great metropolis' skyline in pop art style, highlighted BenQ.

Equipped with a vivid 14.1-inch widescreen panel, the Joybook R43 benefits from BenQ's exclusive UltraVivid technology, with DBEF (Display Brilliance Enhancement Film) increasing screen brightness and sharpening details.

The Joybook R43 is also outfitted with BenQ's QData Trove technology that ensures information security. With a single press of the Alt and F10 keys, a backup of the entire system drive can be initiated into a single designated image file.

Featuring an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and SiS Mirage 3+ chipset with Windows Vista, the Joybook R43 provides multimedia applications, digital home features in combination with performance and data security, according to BenQ.
