Taiwan’s BenQ has shown off a new ultraportable notebook computer that is absolutely filled with the latest and greatest in computer technology. Not only does the new notebook come in at less than an inch-thick, it also features Pine Trail and both a regular hard drive and a solid state drive.

Solid-state drives are great for their speed but get very expensive quickly as you try to get them in bigger sizes. BenQ’s solution? To offer both a 32GB SSD (for the operating system and other critical files) and a 500GB HDD for everything else. For the Pine Trail fans, the Joybook Lite U103 is coming equipped with the power-friendly N450 which allows it to get 8 hours of usage out of a 6-cell battery.

The display size is 10-inches and a webcam is included. 3G connectivity is optional. SRS TruSurround HD (or “HD 3D Sound” are included, giving you some great audio features on a notebook. The notebook will ship in either your choice of white or blue, although unfortunately, it isn’t shipping outside of Asia yet. No word on pricing although it was released two days ago.
