This is probably the coolest laptop that you have ever seen and it goes by the name of Sharp Mebius PC-NJ70A. The Mebius netbook features an optical-sensor LCD touchpad which recognizes handwriting, and performs multi-touch. The LCD trackpad measures 4-inch and it can rotate or modify the size of the items, actually it can do everything you want it to do.
Mebius’ LCD touchpad has a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels, and its brightness adjusts automatically depending on how much light it gets from the environment. Another great advantage of the multi-touch LCD trackpad is that it can be used as a secondary screen and you can use it to adjust the equalizer in Winamp using your fingers or to play at a virtual keyboard while you are doing something else on the 10.1-inch display.
Other than the 4-inch multi-touch LCD trackpad and the 10.1-inch display, Sharp Mebius is based on a 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor, 1GB of DDR2, 160GB hard-drive, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, 3 x USB ports, webcam, and multi-card reader. Well, the netbook should be released sometime in May for a price of $800, however, Sharp didn’t say anything so the release will be a surprise.
In the meantime, check out the video above and let us know what do you think about Sharp Mebius. If indeed it will cost that much, would you buy it only because it features a multi-touch LCD trackpad?
Pretty late for this technology/idea to arise. When every Netbook uses Multitouch-Screens this will be kinda needless. Still quiet good.
