Sharp Actius MP30 Laptop review

Smaller isn't always better when it comes to technology. That's the idea we had when we first started to review the Sharp Actius MP30 . With its thin pull-up screen and a clean basic look we thought there was nothing to it. Once we took it apart, we realized what a machine Sharp had built. Weighting in at about 2.7 pounds, the Actius MP30 carries a DVD player. Movies and games are played by a 1.6 GHz processor. No need to worry about your screen because the ultra-thin 10.4 inch display, with bright color contrast, will make you drool. Don't worry about battery life either. In normal mode you can watch 3 full length movies before having to plug in. If you need to make it last a little longer then just put it in Mobile Mode and another 2 hours can be pulled from it. Of course you will lose some processing power and screen brightness but it is well worth the 8 hours of battery life.
