Sharp to ship low-voltage laptop
Sharp Systems of America introduced a new notebook Monday. The PC-UM20, scheduled to ship this week, weighs less than three pounds, includes the new 750MHz ultra-low voltage Pentium III-M processor from Intel and 256MB of memory. The PC-UM20, which will also come with a 12-inch display, will be priced at $1,699. The notebook's predecessor, the PC-UM10, went for the same price, but had a slower chip, the 600MHz Pentium III-M, and half the RAM. Sharp's latest offering since the company returned to the U.S. notebook market last year, the PC-UM20 will be available through the company's Web site or resellers, the company said. --John G.
