Sharp Mebius Subnotebook Review

Posted by timothy on from the smallness dept.

Tong writes "PDA Buyer's Guide has published a hands-on review of the Sharp Mebius CV50. "The smallest notebook we've seen in years. This Japanese Import is available translated into English from Dynamism, and is smaller than a hardback book. It weights just under two pounds, has a 1 GHz Efficeon processor, a wide screen 7.2" display and absolutely stunning looks and style." Read the full review."

      I was going to say "Does it run Linux Yet?", but of course, NetHack is the real priority :-).

    Darn. If Sharp had only made a Mobius Subnotebook, it even taken up even less space since it would have had only one side.

    I thought that the review of the Sharp Mobius was a little one-sided.

    Don't worry, the Mebius is available in the US and other countries from Dynamism, who converts it to English and ships it with Windows XP. The thick owner's manual is in Japanese, so you'll need to use your general knowledge of notebooks and the pictorial illustrations for guidance when needed.

    So, they still ship the manual to you in Japanese? Domo ori gato
