By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Jul 21st 2009 No Comments

If you’re in the market for a new BenQ netbook, but you think the environment is just one big conspiracy theory, the JoyBook Lite U102 may be the machine for you. Announced at the end of June, the U102 may not surprise with its spec-sheet – you’re looking the usual Atom N270, 1GB of RAM and 160GB hard-drive – but open it up and there’s quite a distinctive touchpad.

Netbooknews caught up with the 121 Eco and shot a hands-on video.

You’ll have to be in Taiwan to buy it, though; carrier FarEasTone are offering the 3G-enabled S6 for $424 outright or free with a $57 per month three-year data contract.
