The display, the keyboard and the ergonomics are really outstanding. So a pleasent working is possible. Bad are the integrated boxes and the touchpad, which is somewhat imprecise and can be served only with difficulty. The weight of 2.8 kg is normal...

While it could be a little sturdier, the abundance of connectivity options and the $2299 price make it a sensible purchase for anyone looking for a large, strong performing notebook.

BenQ Joybook R55

 

Superb, low-response display. Great application performance. Unique look. Decent software bundle. Gamer-worthy. Dual microphones.

Mouse buttons are louder than usual. No multimedia quick-launch buttons. No webcam. Battery life.

Given its impressive performance, generous software bundle and superb screen, at just AU$2299 the R55 is a rare bargain.

Pretty good laptop when you consider it's bang for buck value. I added an extra 1GB memory and she go pretty quick. Plays Quake 4, Flight Sim 9, Sims 2 with ease thanks to the GF Go 7400. I ended up re-installing vista after 1 week thanks to Vista...

Good value, good display

Every time the pc starts up, Wifi Is set to off and it takes a good 2mins before you can turn it on
