Main spec. of Sharp Mebius PJ2-X4
| Size | B5 type |
| Weight | 1.4kg |
| HDD | 12GB |
| CPU | Pentium2, 333MHz |
| Memory | 128MB |
Its compact size, capacity of HDD, built-in battery, and overseas guarantee attracted me compared with others; besides,
the liquid crystal screen is very clear and quite wide (11.3, XGA) for this size. 12GB HDD is also very enough
to install some space-eating software like MS Encarta or Globe without using any compressing
application software. One thing I am sorry is when I take all peripherals such
as FDD and CDD, the total weight gets quite heavy.
Application software installed (except accessories of Win98)
