The Joybook R45 is a 14.1-inch Windows laptop which sports a 2.1 GHz Intel Core Duo 2 processor and nVIDIA GeForce 8400M G discrete graphics. Its display is widescreen in design and extra bright, according to BenQ. The finish of the R45 is described as well as being “luxurious leather-like” and offering a “soft-touch coating.”
