BenQ officially expanded their ultra-portable netbook series today with the debut of their new Joybook Lite U103, a sub-one-inch wonder outfitted with a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor, genuine Windows 7 operating system, 532GB hard drive storage (500GB HDD + 32GB SSD), a 3-cell battery, a 10.1” UltraVivid LED backlit 16:9 display, a 1.3MP webcam, and a unique BenQ intuitive multi-touch touchpad, SRS TruSurround HD and SRS CS Headphone, WiFi and Bluetooth.

Further differentiating the U103 from the netbook crowd is BenQ’s exclusive quick Q-Charge, which restores 4.5 hours of battery life in just one-hour (When using the optional 6-cell battery). The fusion of art and technology in Joybook Lite U103’s industrial design has recently received the internationally-renowned iF Design Award, a prestigious and coveted recognition. BenQ Joybook Lite U103 will be available January 4, 2010 in China, Taiwan, and Thailand.
