Sharp’s two new Mebius laptops, which go on sale in Japan at the end of the month, both have one very interesting feature: you can play DVDs or watch TV on them without needing to boot up first (there are already a few laptops that can do the same thing with audio CDs). The rest of the specs on the PC-SV1-7DB and PC-SV1-5CB aren’t so bad either: 15-inch LCD screens, up to 2GHz processors, up to 756MB of RAM, 40GB or 60GB hard drives, and of course, DVD/CD-RW combination drives and integrated television tuners.
