BenQ launches Joybook S35 and Joybook S43 – based on CULV platform

BenQ has launched two ultra-thin CULV notebooks, Joybook S35 and Joybook S43. The Joybook S35 has a 13.3-inch screen and weighs 1.6kg.

BenQ will be offering it with either an 8-cell battery (11 hours runtime) or with a smaller 4-cell battery (5.5 hours runtime).

The Joybook S35 packs some more muscle as you have the option to get one with Radeon HD 4330 discrete graphics. The S35 packs a bigger screen too: 14-inch. But, both the models sport same screen resolution and even the choice of processors is same. You can get one with Celeron 723/743 or with Core 2 Solo SU3500 processor.

Other standard features include HDMI, WiFi (draft-N) and BT 2.1+ EDR. One can also opt-in for a huge 500GB HDD.

Both of the aforementioned models are already being shipped in Asia, but it is not known if they will make their way to EU or US.

Thinkpad netbook in the tunnel?

Lenovo’s senior exec has revealed that the company is looking forward to release a netbook under the Thinkpad brandname. Due to the recent introduction of netbooks sporting high price tags, IBM thinks that the lines between netbooks and notebooks are blurring at a very fast rate.

However, Lenovo has clearly indicated that the Thinkpad netbook will not have specs of a conventional netbook. According to them, if you want ‘full functionality’, you will have to go for Core or Celeron mobile processor. The Thinkpad netbook will be designed to cater to the needs of those who yearn for something that is more powerful than the conventional netbook but has the same size and feel.

The Thinkpad brand is a brand that is widely popular among businessmen and if Lenovo releases something under that brand, it will be of premium quality for sure.
