BenQ Joybook Q41

SlashGear has posted their review of the BenQ Joybook Q41where they write “It really was kind of a cool idea, but for some reason this is the first laptop, since the Asus one back before Vista was officially released, I’ve seen with the technology in it. Everyone had all these cool plans, dreams, and ideas for ways to use the SideShow technology and then nothing ever happened with it. I take that back, I think I did see a couple of media center remote controls that feigned an attempt at using the technology.”
