I apologize if this has been covered in past postings, but does anyone
have info about the Sharp PC6220. According to an advert and John Dvorak
in September 11 PC Magazine it is a 286-12 MHz with VGA LCD, 16 greys and
640X480. It has 20 Mb 23ms hard disk and weighs 4.3 lbs.

I'd like to know how much Ram comes standard and how much can be added.
What are the keyboard and screen like? What ports are fitted? What battery
does it require and what is the life of the battery? Is there a modem slot?
PC Magazine says it has a suggested retail price $3995 US, does anyone know
what it is selling for through retail/mail order outlets?

My wife needs a laptop for wordprocessing and running Harvard Graphics on
the fly and this looked like it may just fulfill her requirements. Any
general opinions welcomed.
