Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

If you value portability over power and enjoy the advantages of wireless connectivity, Sharp's new PCUM32W Notebook PC may be exactly what you need. Super affordable and incredibly lightweight, the PCUM32W is perfect for those who perform basic computing tasks in a mobile or remote environment.

Measuring just 11.3 by 9.13 by .77 inches and tipping the scales at a scant 3.07 pounds, the PCUM32W is one of the smallest notebooks on the market. However, it is not particularly powerful. Driven by a Low Voltage 1 GHz-M Intel Pentium III processor, 256 MB of PC133 SDRAM memory (expandable to 512 MB) and an integrated Intel 830MG video chipset with 48 MB (shared) video memory, the system will handle general chores such as word processing, spreadsheets, Internet surfing and contact management, but can't be counted upon for high-end graphics, 3-D gaming and sophisticated business applications.

For storing your data, the unit is equipped with an adequate 40 GB hard disk, an optional external 3.5-inch diskette drive, and an external USB CD-ROM drive. In its stock configuration, CD burning and DVD playing and recording are not supported.

The PCUM32W features several surprisingly upscale amenities, including a large 12.1-inch XGA TFT display capable of 16 million colors, out-of-the-box wireless (IEEE 802.11b) LAN connectivity, a single IEEE 1394 FireWire port and two high-speed USB 2.0 ports for fast interaction with external devices such as scanners, optical drives and digital cameras. Sharp has also included a mono speaker, a built-in 56K modem for those times when low-speed wired communication is preferred, and a pre-installed copy of the Windows XP Professional operating system.

Battery life is estimated at 2.4 hours with the standard lithium-ion cell and a stunning 7.2 hours with an optional high-capacity battery.
