Sun SPARCstation IPC Laptop The Parity Britelite(TM) battery-powered workstation is not a SPARC clone ---it features a SPARCstation IPC motherboard manufactured by Sun Microsystems, Inc. This lightweight laptop provides all of the power of a high performance Sun UNIX SPARCstation, MS DOS, and Apple Computer Macintosh in a compact package that weight 13.5 pounds, including a high-resolution backlit LCD display. A video output port allows an external display. The proprietary low-power, chip-on-glass LCD display is available in various monochrome and color resolutions. An internal five Amp-hour NiCad battery provides up to two hours of continous use, or six hours in standby mode. The battery charger/adapter recharges a fully discharged battery in 3 hours with the laptop off, or in 12 hours with the laptop in use. An automatic low-battery shutdown saves the contents of memory. A separate battery powers the time of the day clock/calendar.
