    I've just bought it last year ...undead -- 08/08/09

    I've just bought it last year 2008 and after almost a year the screen turn to blank and can't load windows at all. I admit that it has a good performance but cannot last longer

Overview

The good:
  • Affordable
  • Well built
The bad:
  • Wrist rest gets warm after a short period of use
  • Singular mouse button hard to click
  • Air vent on left-hand side
The bottomline:

BenQ's Joybook R45 is a good laptop at a great price -- and will be even better once you get an extra gigabyte of RAM in there.

Editors’ rating:

8/10

RRP: AU$1299.00
