Sharp isn’t as synonymous with notebooks as Toshiba, IBM, HP Compaq or even Dell, but that hasn’t stopped it throwing down a challenge to the establishment in the form of the Actius MV1214. And not just any old notebook either. In fact the Actius MV1214 is a rather slick-looking system weighing just 1.9kg (plus 250g for the power supply), with a fairly standard footprint of 28.2cm wide by 23.5mm deep.
