Optimus technology does not make the price soar notebook. Examples of this notebook is priced below the Rp.7 million.

Although both Optimus technology adoption, there is a fundamental difference between the BenQ Joybook S46 is the Asus UL30J. The main one is a BenQ notebook uses a standard voltage processor, the Intel Core i5 520M (two core, 2.4 GHz). Plus the presence of DVD Writer, visible when the notebook BenQ is targeting the mainstream segment that requires notebooks for various purposes.

This notebook uses Nvidia GeForce 310M GPU, the same as that used Asus UL30J. Because using a better processor, BenQ gaming performance slightly better than Asus notebook. Even more interesting is when we compare with the Acer Aspire 4741, which also uses the Intel Core i5 Intel 520M graphics card but the HD. As expected, the BenQ has a much faster performance, especially in the testing 3DMark Vantage and Stalker.

As for battery life, Acer looks ahead. On testing HD video (which plays 720p video on an ongoing basis), the second performance of this notebook is relatively balanced. But for the Battery Eater Text Mode (which displays the text repeatedly), the Acer lasted much longer. This shows, Optimus technology still requires power management in order to achieve longer battery duration.

In addition to the DVD Writer, the facilities provided is fairly standard notebook. For example WiFi, card reader, ethernet, memory slot, and HDMI port. While Bluetooth is only a optional facility. We should also mention here that the WiFi card that is used BenQ Joybook S46 is the Atheros AR5009 (WiFi a / g / n), Intel WiFi card instead of the commonly used 5000 Series notebooks. Even so, this notebook can connect to the access point to our office without any problems.

BenQ seems intended to give a large area for his keyboard button, visible from the main button size of 17x17mm. But the large size of the button that makes the distance between the keys to be very tight, which is about 2mm. This is different from the present design chiclet button that actually provides a wide distance between the keys.

Then, where delicious? It is somewhat-somewhat subjective. For us, design chiclet feels more comfortable because it is easy to distinguish the button without the need to see it. But we managed to near the speed of a standard type once familiar with this BenQ keyboard design.

Material notebook itself looks stylish. Although the plastic casing has a texture such as metal so it looks solid. Not only keliatannya, in fact this notebook is solid. When we press the back of the screen, there is no effect arising on the screen. We also tried to treat this notebook with a little coarse, and the material escape without leaving the slightest injury.

While this notebook screen looks bright with good color gradation. However, we saw in the horizontal viewing angle is less good, so that shifts the screen tilt just a little will make the image on the screen look pale.
