According to BenQ, the S42 also comes with an enhanced, ultra-bright 14.1″ WXGA LED screen, hybrid power function, integrated webcam, microphone and speakers, HDMI and SRS TruSurround XT Technology.

The 220-nit widescreen utilizes LED backlight for exceptional brilliance, lighter weight, slimmer design, and mercury-free, power-conserving environmental friendliness. Exclusive UltraVivid technology amplifies visuals with DBEF (Display Brilliance Enhancement Film) for vibrant, razor-sharp image quality; and an 8ms response time ensures video and gaming are super-smooth and artifact-free.

A low-reflectivity, anti-glare coating takes the Joybook from office to outside where details and colors remain bold and rich even in brightly-lit environments.

 

Smart hybrid power function also distinguishes the S42’s effortless sophistication. It makes the S42 achieve the perfect balance of performance and battery duration – depending on 3D load and battery state, dGPU intelligently powers down and migrates applications to iGPU for optimum performance and power management. Essentially the S42 has two graphics cards on board a high end independent NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics card and an integrated graphics card for every day applications

An integrated 2.0-megapixel QEye webcam and built-in microphone make videoconferencing and chatting a breeze, while SRS TruSurround XT Technology with noise suppression and echo cancellation bring video conferencing, movies and music to life with virtual surround sound through two 1.5W built-in speakers.

Integrated HDMI, Bluetooth, WiFi compatibility, power DVD and Windows Vista Premium Certification additionally enhance mobile work and play.

The S42 series will be available throughout Australia from the 25th of August.
