BenQ has brought a new ultraportable notebook to the fray, dubbed as Joybook Lite T131. The 13.3-incher is just over an inch thick and weighs 1.8kg which is actually a bit heavy by ultraportable standards.

AMD’s Yukon platform is the main attraction here which is complemented by the remaining feature set like an anti-glare UltraVivid screen, Sempron 200U CPU, HD audio, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, 1.3MP webcam, up to 2GB of RAM and 320GB HDD. It is powered by a 6-cell battery that promises to give up to 3 hours of runtime.

Joybook Lite T131 will be available in China from this month in opulent midnight blue and snowy white colors.

11.6-inch is the current flavor of the netbooks and BenQ too caves in to align with the current trend. The Joybook Lite U121 Eco looks to be a decent netbook with decent specs. It has an Intel Z520/Z530 processor, Hybrid Storage (SSD + HDD), up to 32GB SSD or up to 500GB HDD, GMA500 graphics, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, optional 3G, HDMI/VGA port, 1.3MP camera and an option to go with a 6-cell battery that gives a runtime of around 8 hours.

The netbook will start selling from this month in China, Malaysia and Taiwan.

BenQ also sees the future in all-in-ones and here they are with their AIO range dubbed the nScreen. The couple of nScreen’s that will hit the Japanese and Australian markets in March or April are 18-inch i91 and 21.5-incher i221. Both the AIOs have a 16:9 screen aspect ratio, support HD playback, 1.3 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, 4-in-1 card reader and has knob on the bottom right that works as a power button and adjusting volume controls. The i91 will be powered by an AMD Sempron 210U processor, 1GB RAM and 160GB HDD, which we are not sure but can be the same for i221 too.

i91 is currently selling in Taiwan for NT$17,900 (US$517) while i221 will start shipping later.
