It's not widely available, but with this battery life on offer the BenQ Joybook Lite U101 should be

We’re no stranger to BenQ and its high-quality monitors at PC Authority: in our last roundup of 15, 17 and 18in+ monitors BenQ managed to score two awards including Labs Winner for its 15in model.

Getting on, but remains a fairly competitive buy

Amazingly good value for what you get: a fully-featured, dual-core, ergonomic notebook.

The JoyBook 8000 marks the first attempt by BenQ to enter what some might argue is a crowded notebook market. BenQ's stance on the JoyBook is different from other notebook manufacturers though, as it won't be selling the JoyBook as 'just another notebook', but will instead market it totally as a digital lifestyle product.

It’s lovely to look at, with a full size keyboard and glorious screen. See why the Benq Joybook Lite U121 is one of the best rated in our latest netbook roundup

It's a shame this isn't cheaper: a fine projector if you're prepared to pay a premium for Full HD

Not as stylish as the Dell, but the BenQ’s image quality and HDMI port make it our top 24in LCD.

Impressive widescreen quality for an attractive price.

Wi-Fi is a great feature, but image quality is lacking.

The new model in Benq's V series may just be an evolution, but under the skin there's a power revolution.

The BenQ Joybook 7000 v07 is a multimedia PC with some MCE-like abilities. It comes loaded with QMedia Center - another MCE clone - and a PCMCIA-sized remote. QMedia operates much like MCE in that there is a main page – coloured BenQ purple of course - from which the usual Pictures and Videos icons enable navigation of the user’s media files.

A fantastic specification notebook with all the trimmings you'd expect to find on more expensive notebooks, the Joybook 8100-V13 has a 15.4in widescreen WXGA with native 1280 x 800 resolution. With ATI's Mobility RADEON 9600 graphics, boasting 64MB dedicated video memory, it's great for DVD playback or gaming -- the unit returned 9,502 marks under 3DMark01SE Pro, more than enough to provide comfortable gameplay with a decent number of fps even in recent games. BenQ has gone as far as to include not just a DVD-ROM for DVD movie playback, but an optical DVD writer, capable of 2-speed DVD+R media writing, ideal for both business archiving or for personal backup.

When it came time to tally up the scores for all of the 15in monitors, the BenQ FP591 was either at or near the top of every category.

Decent image quality and a price that's hard to believe

Good features, good quality and good value - it’s also the fastest ultraportable we’ve seen.

The PE5120 from BenQ is a native widescreen projector, and while it’s happiest displaying DVDs and home theatre inputs it also performed well with desktop and text projection.

The FP71V+ is another 17in TFT from BenQ, but the real selling point of this monitor is the super-fast 5ms response time.

The BenQ DC2300 is a 2.1-megapixel camera with 2,048 x 1,536 optical resolution, 8MB internal memory, fixed focus, and built-in flash. It stores images and video in MMC and SD card media, has a USB interface and takes AA batteries. A fairly low priced camera, the DC2300 offers white-balance modes, metering modes and exposure adjustments.

Almost identical to the FP591, 15in model (previous page), the BenQ FP791 is everything the little model is, although we actually found it to be slightly more.
