Recently, in Answers to Questions, TechnoLawyer members debated the wisdom of using a Mac in a law practice. Martin Pagel, realizing that most lawyers have no choice in the matter, points to Sharp's new Actius MC24 notebook, which looks like an Apple iBook but weighs 0.5 pounds less. It sells for $999 directly from Sharp; less elsewhere. Among its specs: Mobile AMD Athlon XP-M Processor 2400+, 512MB of DDR SDRAM (upgradable to 768MB), 12.1-inch XGA TFT LCD, 40GB hard drive, 802.11g WiFi, 4 USB 2.0 ports, a VGA port, a PCMCIA Type II card slot, and a CD-RW/DVD combo drive.
