Holiday Gadgets : BenQ JoyBook R55
Due Credit:
PCquest Phil. for the test unit use
As I said before this Holiday season, Gifts makes your wallet cry. To make that cry a little thinner find the right gifts which is economical as well as good quality. In search of holiday gift gadget today my finding is BenQ Joybook R55 laptop.
The Joybook R55 features a SATA 5400rpm Hard Disk Drive that offers higher transfer rates and better data security. Also equipped with Bluetooth v2.0 EDR, enhanced data transfer rate of 3Mbps and reduced power consumption is provided. With BenQ's new QDataTrove, you need only press the F10 key to initiate a thorough data backup. It also allows you an easy way of restoring the system's factory default settings and perform scheduled backups of system files. QDataTrove's thoughtful "Restore from Backup" feature lets you select any data you wish to retrieve.
At 16 millisecond (ms), the R55's display has the fastest response time. The response time of most notebook displays is about 25ms, and the adverse effects of this relatively long interval can be noticed during playback of DVDs or when playing games that require quick scene changes. At 16ms, the R55's display performance is comparable to that of CRT monitors. It effectively eliminates ghosting from fast-moving objects and renders extra-sharp motion images. Not only response time this excellent piece of technology has a lot to offer, check out the key specifications----
