BenQ rolls out Santa Rosa-based Joybook S32/S32W

BenQ's adding a bit more Santa Rosa cheer to its ever-expanding line of Joybook laptops, following up its recently-announced Joybook S41 with its new S32 and S32W models. Apparently differentiated only by color (black or white), the new models each boast a 13.3-inch WXGA display, a Core 2 Duo 7100 processor, Intel's GM965 Express chipset with X3100 graphics, up to 2GB of RAM, a max 160GB hard drive, a built-in 1.3 megapixel webcam, and integrated 802.11a/g/n WiFi, among other features. Perhaps most importantly, the laptops also keep things shiny, using BenQ's trademark "Laminated Color metal technology" for that extra bit of fingerprint-attraction. No word on price, though anyone outside of Asia will likely have to do some importing or trip-planning if they want to pick one up.

I just got one of these. Good times. It can be found for AU$1500 which is about... US$1300.
