Rating: Summary: OK product, but won't boot from CD Review: I agree with the previous reviewers. This computer will not boot from an external CD, no matter what BIOS settings you choose. (I was using an external USB CD). I would have thought this is a fairly basic requirement and I'm convinced it's a BIOS bug. I havn't been able to find a patch. Sharp, if you're reading this, it's a shame that such a nice product has been let down by a simple thing. I suggest you fix it quick, before you lose sales.
Rating: Summary: Be Careful! Review: I had to send it back because the recovery process (on 2 CD's) did not work. The unit was unable to boot from the "free" CD/RW-DVD unit that comes with the laptop. Tech support was unable to get it to work either. Even though the "free" CD/RW-DVD seemed to work OK within Windows, when I first installed the unit through the USB port, I received a message that I was installing a high-speed device into a low speed port. The laptop is supposed to come with USB 2.0 ports, not 1.1. I am waiting to receive another complete unit. Hopefully the problem was with the "free" CD/RW-DVD and not with the laptop itself. Also, mine had at least one bad pixel. We will see how the other one works. Stay tuned for any updates!
Rating: Summary: Coolest Computer Out There Review: If you are looking for an sleek and cool looking computer this is it. If you don't need a desktop replacement, but are instead looking for a lightweight and thin computer that will turn heads buy the Actius MM10.
Rating: Summary: Hard Drive Quality is a JOKE Review: Like others, I purchased the MM10 as a tech toy. Little did I know what a hassle owning it would be. Didn't have it two weeks before the hard drive crashed and they sent me a new unit. This was handled very quickly and with great support. The second MM10 lasted a little over a month when it displayed "no operating system found". The third unit didn't last a month when the hard drive crashed. They are telling me I installed a "hard drvie password" through the BIOS and that I need a new hard drive and new software costing $440!!!! I never set any password and the support people are unwilling to even send the unit back without charging me $70. Still in the middle of trying to get my money back for this junk. Be warned!

Rating: Summary: Recovery process did not work Review: The laptop crashed. Thanks to the cradle that allows my another computer to read the hard disk through USB, I was able to recover all my data. BUT the recovery CDs did not work. The BIOS seems to ignore the existence of the external CDROM driver no matter how you set the BIOS parameters. It could either be a problem of the CDROM driver or a bug in the laptop's BIOS or bootup program.
Rating: Summary: Like my toys Review: The MM10 sure is sweet, but the support is as bad as I've seen. I'll never by a Sharp product after dealing with RUDE customer support and sales. After 3 conversations and all I spoke with were aloof and un-caring, the morale must be very low at this company.

Rating: Summary: geek toy Review: This one of the best geek toys out there! Wherever I go, people gawk at its size. Also great for those who want to travel lite. In reply to "Be Careful!", I took a gander at the book supplied which tells how to change the BIOS settings. I too needed to boot from the CDROM.
