CNET’s Crave uncovered an additional tidbit about the new BenQ JoyBook U101 netbook. According to this posting, the new U101 is tested to withstand drops of up to 76cm (approximately 2.4 feet) – not bad though I’m willing to bet your netbook will suffer a few dings at that height.

The 10.1 inch U101 features an Intel Atom processor, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB HDD, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, 3.5G support, and of course Windows XP Home. Oh yes, it’s also the first netbook to actually come with a 16:9 aspect ratio display.

Expect the JoyBook U101 to hit the Asian markets by the end of this month for a price of around $594 U.S. dollars.
