Turn potential into reality
It is only by following one's instincts that one can show the world what one is capable of. The BenQ Joybook S53W is an innovative laptop computer whose design is geared toward helping users realize their inner potential. BenQ's engineers have made stringent demands on every aspect of this computer from its appearance, size and weight to its ergonomics. Their approach was no longer simply one of developing a distinct laptop computer, but rather to enable mobile business users to reach their full potential in the workplace.

120° Viewing - Activate your instinct to know
After introducing the world's 14" wide-screen notebook with the Joybook 7000, BenQ is bringing the wide-screen display advantage to 13" wide-screen models with the Joybook S53W. Not only does the new Joybook provide 200nit of brightness, but also 25% more viewing space. The wide-format display lets you open windows in several applications without the screen feeling cramped, while giving you a better, more expansive view on horizontally oriented Excel spreadsheets and financial forms.

360º Hearing - Stimulate your instinct to commune
The built-in SRS audio processing chip enables 360º 3D surround sound, for a natural feeling of being enveloped in sound when listening to music, freeing you from the limitations of the listening environment. During meetings or presentations, playing multimedia files gives listeners, even those in the furthest corners of the room, a captivating 3D-like aural experience. The Joybook S53W renders crisply realized sound that is clearly superior to that of regular laptops, helping you commune with both music and other people.

Comprehensive Touch - Extend your instinctive intelligence
To increase the level of comfort when using the Joybook S53W, BenQ has carefully considered the needs of business users that use computers for extended periods of time. The result is a productivity tool that embraces ergonomic principles, so that users will not feel fatigued even after long periods in front of the Joybook S53W.





Ergonomic Curved Keyboard Design
After studying the usage patterns of people who type on a keyboard for long periods of time, BenQ has created a special curved lower edge design for each key (replacing the usual sharp edge). Accommodating the fact that when people type, their fingertips generally move upwards when in contact with the keyboard, this design provides a smoother interface for rapid movement. The pad area of each key is also 13% larger than those on regular keyboards, reducing accidental strikes of wrong keys. In addition, special consideration has been given to the cushioning of the underside of the keycaps. By fine-tuning the force feedback provided when a key is pressed, it reduces fatigue from excessive resistance each time it is struck, increasing overall comfort.

"Wide" Proportions Touchpad
With a touchpad shaped to 16:10 width-to-height proportions, the Joybook S53W is designed to accommodate navigation around a wide-screen display. The zero-gap touchpad, moreover, increases the ease and smoothness with which the fingers can move.


Fast Performance
The Joybook S53W series utilizes the latest Intel® Centrino® processor technology, including the 915GM chipset and 533MHz FSB, for overall performance that more than doubles the previous generation. With the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200 a/b/g wireless networking solution, the Joybook S53W lets you easily access the Internet from any location. Additionally, the Intel® Proset automatic detection feature allows you to automatically connect to the Internet without re-entering a password at a WiFi hotspot that you have previously visited.

Dual Antenna Design
The Joybook S52's thoughtful design places the antenna at the front edge of the lid, so that it is elevated to the maximum height when open for better reception of wireless network signals. In addition, both the right and left corners have embedded antennas for the best possible wireless networking reception and online experience.

Optimized Presentations
When giving presentations, take advantage of the Joybook S53W's exclusive QPresentation design, which allows it to automatically detect a projector when it is attached and then automatically sets the resolution to an optimized 1024 x 768. With no need for manual adjustment, you are free to focus on giving the best possible presentation.

Automatic Backup and Recovery
Using the Joybook S53W's Quick Backup Recovery System, just a quick press of the F10 key is all you need to restore factory default settings. In addition, you can backup your system, software applications and documents at anytime, as well as restore them from a backup-ensuring that your data won't be lost.

Efficient Port Replicator
The Joybook S53W provides access to a port replicator that offers a PS / 2 port, VGA port, two USB 2.0 ports, printer port, Ethernet jack, COM port, audio-out port, and DC-in socket for fast and simple connecting and disconnecting of peripherals-making for a highly efficient mobile office. (*optional)


Pioneering Thermal Design
To ensure that the compact Joybook S52 offers effective cooling, it retains the "front-intake ventilation cooling system" from the previous generation. Cooling air is taken in at the front and expelled out the sides, allowing it to flow over the CPU and other important components to effectively reduce overall system temperature and ensure system stability.

Stringent Testing Standards
Insisting on the highest testing rigor, we have increased the weight to which the Joybook S53W is subjected in the weight pressure test to 50 kgs, drop test to 100 cm, a more demanding standard than the 36 kgs and 70 cm that is the industry norm. In all, the Joybook S52 is subjected to more than 24 quality assurance tests, including LCD scratch test, weight pressure test, lid hinge test, compatibility test, temperature tests, vibration test, noise test, etc. Even the keyboard must pass more than 20 tests, ensuring that the keys can withstand 8,000,000 or more presses. BenQ firmly believes that only by tightening testing standards can intelligent technological craft deliver a more rigorous guarantee of quality.


13" 200nit Bright Wide-Screen Display
The proportions of the Joybook S52's LCD screen adhere to the golden ratio, which best accommodates the fact that the human eye's field of vision is wider than it is high. And the 200nit bright panel, which uses exclusive DBEF™ (Display Brilliance Enhancement Film) technology, gives you the best viewing experience with DVD movies.




Theater-Class Listening Experience
SRS 3D 360º surround sound gives you the sensation of being enveloped in audio as you listen to music. Whether you use the front-mounted speakers or support a 5.1 channel SPDIF audio output, you can easily enjoy a stunning AV home theater experience.
