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."

    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.

  3. Brush up on my Japanese by MikeMacK · · Score: 5, Funny
    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

    Come on, can't anyone make a $400-$500 sub-laptop with a 7" screen? Anybody?

  5. They could have done without the screen bezel by Anonymous+Writer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If a computer is going to be this small, they should have made the effort to minimise the screen bezel to maximise screen size while maintaining the same dimensions of the unit. That's a poor design flaw, making the screen that small in relation to the unit. The unit is small enough that legibility or screen space would be difficult enough anyway, and this makes it even worse.
