If you’re looking for something cheap with a 1 year global warrenty then the BenQ U105 might be the netbook for you. First off its on sale at IT Month 2010 for $330 taxes included and the feature that would set this unit apart from other Netbooks would be the screens ability to withstand 35 pounds of pressure. I didn’t test it out, but a extremely firm press on the back of the screen that showed 0 colour reflection or distortion led me to believe this might have upped the ante on BenQ’s build quality.
The BenQ Joybook U105 is built with Intel’s latest Atom N450/N470 processor and pre-loaded with Windows 7 Starter. I wasn’t able to test it out on the show floor but this 10 incher boasts enhanced SRS Trusurround HD and CS Headphone audio technology. The rest is standard with three USB 2.0 slots, 4-in-1 card reader, VGA, Ethernet, web cam and WIfi.
Check of the video for your self to see how the screen can actually withstand a fair bit of pressure.
