Sharp has just introduced their lightest notebook yet for the US market. The M4000 WideNote weighs in at just 3.7 pounds, and boasts an ultra-bright 13.3-inch WXGA widescreen LCD display. The WideNote will sell $1,799.99 USD later this month, with Windows XP Professional installed as the operating system. Sharp is also throwing in Norton AntiVirus, Intervideo WinDVD player with sharp-fxT, and Drag’n Drop CD+DVD creation software.

The best part of the WideNote might be its battery life. The battery in this laptop boasts a whopping 6 hours of juice per charge, almost enough for a flight over the Atlantic. That’s not all that the Sharp WideNote brings to the table, check out the rest of the impressive specs.
