Summary

The Sharp Actius MM20 is probably one of the most misunderstood products in the marketplace today. If you read other reviews on this system you will hear a lot of complaints relating to the products size or its lack of performance. The MM20 is a specialty system that really appeals to a niche market. Our guess is that the average user will find the MM20 very lacking in features. It is not a very good desktop replacement and probably would not make a very good primary system. It does not have an internal optical drive and comes with only 20GB of storage space limiting what it will be used for.

 

If you do a lot of traveling to and from the office, or go on a lot of business trips, this is where the MM20 really shines. With its syncing capability, coupled with its light weight and small size, you can take data from your desktop computer on the road with you. Users who make size and weight a priority will find the MM20 to be a very compelling system. Because of its unique cradle and syncing capabilities, the MM20 separates itself from domestic and foreign notebook systems.
