Sharp has unveiled its new Internet Aquos PC/TV system. But unlike many other PC/TV combos, the Internet Aquos doesn't try to cram everything into one box. Rather, the TV and the PC box are built to work together.When both the TV and the PC are on, you can watch and record TV, schedule recordings, and the like. But even when the PC is off, the TV can record shows directly to the hard drive. It looks like you probably have to turn the PC on to watch recorded shows. The system comes with a wireless keyboard and trackball for using the computer from your couch. But there's also a remote control that has a trackball for basic mouse-like functionality.
The Internet Aquos comes in 20, 26, and 32-inch LCD flavors. The PC specs include an Intel Celeron 1.46GHz or Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 1.66GHZ processor, 250GB to 400GB hard drives, 512MB to 1GB of RAM, a DVD multi drive, TV Tuner, and Vista Home Basic or Premium.
