 TAIPEI, TAIWAN, May 25, 2007 – BenQ today launched the Joybook S32/S32W – featuring the latest IntelÒ CentrinoÒ Duo processor technology, SRS TruSurround XT technology, built-in webcam, a bright 13.3-inch widescreen LCD display featuring BenQ’s UltraVivid technology and a fashion-forward lid exclusively designed by BenQ’s Lifestyle Design Center.
The newest additions to BenQ's award-winning Joybook lineup, the Joybook S32 and S32W both feature a svelte and smoothly contoured casing adorned by a silver strip with chic diamond-cut logo. Using BenQ’s exclusive Laminated Color Metal technology, the S32W perfectly blends pop art on its pearly white lid, making it a strong style statement for trendsetters. The S32 features a stunning 3D metallic shading image on its aluminum lid that evokes stellar mists from deep in the galaxy, exclusively designed by BenQ’s Lifestyle Design Center.
Both laptops are outfitted with SRS TruSurround XT technology that provides world-class cinematic experience and come equipped with a built-in 1.3-megapixel QEye webcam and internal microphone. The compact S32 and S32W incorporate BenQ’s exclusive UltraVivid 13.3” widescreen display that features a high brightness of 250nit, providing the best specifications and color performance. The high resolution WXGA display panel takes advantage of the unique DBEF™(Display Brilliance Enhancement Film) to dramatically increase brightness, and a low-reflectivity anti-glare coating that aggregates emitted light, ensuring saturated and crisp color.
Furthermore, the Joybook S32/S32W leads the way in adopting the latest IntelÒ CentrinoÒ Duo processor technology along with the Windows Vista™ operating system. Incorporated IntelÒ Core™2 Duo Processor and Intel® GM965 Express Chipset ensures operation stays smooth even when numerous applications are open.
The BenQ Joybook S32/S32W will be available in Asia in Q2, 2007.
