BenQ has launched their latest portable netbook, the 11.6" display Joybook Lite U121 Eco. Joybook lite U121 Eco weighs 1.3kg, with 11.6" LED backlight display, 160GB storage capacity, a bigger and more user-friendly full size keyboard and longer battery life. The company has said the brand is Certified Energy Star, Taiwan/China/Japan Green Labels, and EPEAT Silver, and draws 40% less power than the previous generation courtesy of Intel's least power-consuming processor, the Atom, and the mercury-free, low-energy LED screen. Over the product's life, 75% of the mechanical elements and 70% of packaging are also recyclable. The Joybook Lite U121 Eco is available from 1st August, 2009 in Middle East and Africa.
