Sharp Mebius PC-NJ70A Gets LCD Trackpad

Forget about Apple and their multitouch trackpad – Sharp goes one up in this department with the Mebius PC-NJ70A that features an LCD touchpad which boasts a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels. This unique trackpad is able to adjust its brightness automatically based on surrounding light, and can also double up as a secondary display including adjusting an equalizer using your finger. It is a pity to see this appear on a netbook as it would be much more apt on a notebook considering the former’s lack of processing power. Other features of the Mebius PC-NJ70A netbook include :-

• 10.1″ LCD display at 1,024 x 600 resolution
• Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor
• 1GB RAM
• 160GB hard drive
• Three USB 2.0 ports
• Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity
• Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR support
• Memory card reader

You can get a decently powered notebook instead of this high-tech $817 netbook, but then again who else can boast about a touchpad that also parades as an LCD display?
