BenQ: Joybook R43

The city at night presents many faces. By turns, it can be mysterious or glamorous, serene or dazzling. The Joybook R43 is designed to capture the spirit of a great metropolis. Drawing inspiration from the nighttime city's special grace and beauty, the deep black lid with its shimmering finish is accented by a unique ornamental band.

This band, imprinted with novel Inscribed Laminar Film technology, evokes a great metropolis' skyline in pop art style. Interspersed among this skyline's geometrically arranged rounded corners and bold lines, points of illumination appear—most spectacularly when ambient light is low—suggesting nothing so much as the lighted windows in the city's teeming buildings.

The nocturnal urban feel is continued when you open up the lid, with a luminous blue-lit power button and indicator lights. You're further treated to the sleek look and feel of a brushed texture hairline finish palm rest and a subtly dappled touchpad. For those who appreciate the beauty of the city after hours, as well as a beautifully designed laptop, BenQ presents the Joybook R43.

Get a great view
The Joybook R43's gorgeous 14.1" widescreen panel benefits from BenQ's exclusive UltraVivid technology, with DBEF™ (Display Brilliance Enhancement Film) increasing screen brightness and sharpening details. The result is a scintillating viewing experience whatever is on screen.

Tested tough


The Joybook R43 is subjected to 25 tests—including a scratch resistance test, pressure test, hinge test, compatibility test, high and low temperature tests, drop test, and vibration test, etc. to ensure its quality. Even the keyboard is thoroughly tested, passing a series of more than 20 tests designed to check that it can withstand 8 million keystrokes.

Way to wireless
The Joybook R43 sets you free from cabled connections. Easily access the Internet over high-speed Wi-fi* networks, and connect to Bluetooth*-capable phones and peripherals like mice and keyboards. Whether at work or at play, enjoy the freedom of going online, listening to music, and linking your laptop with other devices without the constraints and hassles of cables. Wireless is truly the way to go!
