BenQ's showy 15.4-inch Joybook R56 laptop

Another month, another Joybook. Thankfully, BenQ's workin' overtime to keep things fresh in its ever-growing laptop lineup, and the flashy R56 doesn't disappoint. The machine sports a 15.4-inch WXGA widescreen display with an eight-millisecond response time, HDMI output, and NVIDIA's GeForce 8400M G to boot. Additionally, you'll find an Intel Core 2 Duo T7100 processor, 512MB to 2GB of DDR2 RAM, up to 160GB of SATA hard drive space, an optional dual-layer DVD writer, six-cell Li-ion battery, 802.11a/g/n, built-in stereo speakers / subwoofer, and a slew of ports including Firewire, Ethernet, VGA, audio in / out, eSATA, ExpressCard, and four USB 2.0 connectors. Unfortunately, BenQ's not handing out any pricing or availability deets just yet, but click on through for a few more angles of this stylish machine.

Is it the FireFire 2.0 spec?

Try an antacid.

I don't understand why modern computers still have VGA ports on them. I realize it has HDMI output, but more people are going to be using DVI than anything else. Instead of making them buy an HDMI to DVI adapter, make those using VGA buy a DVI to VGA adapter.

I echo your sentiments.

Really like the case on this one. Simple and elegant. Kudos Benq.
