BenQ Joybook R46 arrives in China, Thailand and Malaysia

The last time we saw some new Joybooks they were these cute little 10.1-inch things, but the new R46 is their professional-minded older sibling (the Alex P. Keaton to your Mallory, perhaps). This sober, serious machine sports a 14.1-inch "UltraVivid" WXGA display, a Core 2 Duo T3400 processor, integrated x4500 graphics, up to 4GB RAM, up to 320GB storage and all the love that WiFi and Bluetooth provide. And if video conferencing is your bag, you'll be please to note that it comes with a 2 megapixel webcam and microphone with smart noise suppression. Available now in China, Thailand and Malaysia -- but the price remains a mystery.

did'nt BenQ change its name to... something else?
Or maybe did it get bought up by HTC?

Not really commenting on the machine itself but the name sucks ass.

Funny, I've played with a 10.1 "Joybook" in the states for years...

Be careful if you buy a Benq in Thailand. The power supply on my Joybook S52 packed in the other day and I was informed that it would take up to 2 months for them to order a new one from overseas! Apparantly not a single one was to be found anywhere in Thailand. Not what I would call great after sales service.
