More from BenQ: the webcam-equipped Joybook T31

by Evan Blass, posted Jun 19th 2006 at 10:27AM

The R55 wasn't the only Joybook BenQ had on display at Computex; the company was also showing off its 13-inch T31, which is the first notebook in this lineup to feature a built in webcam (with Sony having already snatched up the MotionEye name, this 1.3 megapixel cam is known as the QEye). Like the R55, this model also features an UltraVivid display (with a 220-nit brightness, though, as opposed to 180-nit), SRS Trusurround XT audio enhancement, and a dual core processor, but the T31 eschews Intel's Core Duo chip for a Turion 64 X2 from AMD. Rounding out the specs are ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 graphics pushing WXGA resolution, four USB 2.0 ports, and a 5-in-1 card reader that can handle SD/MMC, MemoryStick, and the still-kicking xD format, but unfortunately, prices and release dates remain elusive.

I agree with DS. That "built in" webcam looks awful. I barely notice the iSight on my macbook. :)

"QEye." Heh.

QEye for the Laptop Guy.

P.S. DS, I wish you'd quit spamming these stories with your boilerplate response. Are you just trolling to whip the Apple haters into a frenzy?

I thought it had almost always been the case for vaio built in web cams ferinstance, to twist around to take a shot of what is behind the screen, that is, share the viewpoint of the person in front of the keyboard.
