BenQ Australia Joybook S42-PE01

Wide variety of ports, good value, nice design

No e-SATA, low battery life, function key is where control key should be, left- and right-click button not separate.

If you can't fork out the extra $500 for the fully featured ASUS F8Va and still want decent performance in an attractive design then the BenQ Joybook S42-PE01 is worth looking at. It might not have all the bells and whistles, but for this price point...
