BenQ is a new maker to join the nebook scene with its JoyBook Lite U101. Just launched in the market and currently available in 4 colors but only 3 reasons given by BenQ to love the new netbook which are:
Reason 1:
An exceptional 10.1 inch 16:9 LED display that touches your heart.
Reason 2:
At 1.05 kilogram, it's ultra-portable because love should be light and fun.
Reason 3:
Extra battery power for love that lasts longer.
The netbook is basically similar to other netbooks seen previously, for detailed specifications see below:

Even though I prefer a regular sized laptop, such as the 15 inch MacBook Air, I must say, netbooks like the BenQ JoyBook Lite U101, really pique my interest.
As a writer and user of all things Apple, one of my biggest complaints is that Apple has yet to introduce their own Netbook as of yet. However, there are signs that sometime, hopefully, next year, they may release a Mac NetBook. I hope so. If so, I expect them to shake up the market yet again.
Great post on a great little machine.
Thanks for your input 'I am a lover of children's literature', you seem to be a lover of Mac products too.
Mac products are always set apart from the usual and am certainly looking forward to a MacNetBook.
I like the name: Joybook I have a ? for you, Reader:
Is it compatible with Microsoft Arc wireless mouse?

Microsoft Arc wireless mouse requires a USB port and a Windows PC or MAC. Joybook will work fine with it.
