BenQ gets its AMD Yukon kicks with the Joybook Lite T131

AMD's all about the thin-and-light category with its latest chips, and BenQ is happy to oblige with this new Joybook Lite T131 running AMD's Yukon chipset. At 4 pounds and 1.1-inches thick, however, the 13.3-inch laptop isn't incredibly notable in either department -- especially since it's short a disc drive -- but it's still a pretty attractive little unit. There's a 320GB HDD, SD reader and our favorite, an anti-glare screen, but other than the webcam and mic the laptop is pretty low on perks. It's available in either "opulent midnight blue" or "snowy white" and will be hitting China in June, with no word on price or when they might spread the love.

Where does the Yukon platform stand anyway? >CULV?

I think it's in the same range as Intel CULV, maybe a little faster or slower.

don't forget it comes with a FREE spyware/net filter/rights violator software.

If you're not an idiot you'd format before using it.

I'd rather get my kicks on socket 1366

I want to hear more about the Asus P30A ultraportable. I'm sorry, but for that size, this has to have a disc drive. I can understand when superthin notebooks and smaller screen notebooks lack an optical drive. But this is ridiculous.
