dude, let me share this with you, all my life as a consumer, i buy what i want without listening to others, i make purchases based on my lust for the product and not opinions...the money is mine, i waste it anyway anywhere i want to.

buy it if you want to, live with it and love it or hate it and bang it. for year 2007, i had bought over 4 laptops, none of it stick with me for 3 months except the benq i bought.

buy what you like, don't listen to others, buy for sastifaction, the money is yours

cause i like it, better than my previous acer ferrari, better than my previous compaq v3000, better than my fujitsu cseries...i dun know why, but one thing for sure when i am mad at coding, i bang it with my fist and it is still working. i slammed the lcd down, it still survive. when i have debugging error; i curse at my benq and she never curse me back...i dun know .... i like the name of benq joybook, sound so gay...joybook
