Comdex 2002 Wrapup - AMD, NVIDIA & Transmeta

Transmeta's Impressive TM5800 Product List (continued)

One of the more impressive solutions was this Sharp notebook:

The Mebius Muramasa from Sharp only weighs 2.09lbs in the configuration you see above, but the real beauty of the notebook is how thin it is:

As you can tell by this picture, the Mebius is well under an inch thick.

Even when closed the notebook is impressively thin.

Another neat feature is this docking station:

The notebook charges itself when put in this docking station but it also establishes a USB2.0 connection to the docking station. You can then plug the docking station into your network and access the hard drive of the Mebius on any other computer as a removable disk drive.

Although the notebook is currently only available in Japan, Sharp has announced plans to bring it to the rest of the world including North America.

Our final stop in the Transmeta suite was at this tiny notebook from Sony. It's about 2/3 the width of a Picturebook and as you can see by the picture above, it is extremely tiny.
