Sharp's ultralight MP series laptop

There is, of course, no end to the number of ultralight laptops coming out of Japan these days, with the latest being the Sharp MP, which has a squint-inducing 10.4-inch LCD screen, a 1.6GHz Efficeon processor, and a Dirrect HDD
function which lets you hook it up to another PC over USB and use it as an external hard drive (if only this were standard on every laptop). Comes in two versions, one DVD-R/RW/RAM drive and a 60GB hard drive, the other with a CD-RW
drive and a 40GB hard drive.
