BenQ has planned to bring its new notebook computer 'Joybook Lite' to the Gulf, according to a company official.

'The new BenQ Joybook Lite is the new right fit product for the right users,' K Y Lee, chairman of BenQ Corporation, was quoted as saying in a Gulf News report.

Joybook Lite's notable features include Intel Atom processor, Windows XP and a built-in 3.5G module. It comes in two models - an 8.9-inch version and 10-inch version.

'As the face of businesses change, so does the tools. Worldwide, manufacturers are struggling to integrate PCs, mobile phones and television technology to create the ideal tool for hi-flying business executives. BenQ is launching one such tool that will change the business experience,' explained Lee.

'Our research wing is testing a new concept called MID (Mobile Internet Device), which will be the first of its kind to be launched in this Middle East market,' he added.
