Sharp Aquos PC connects with HDTV

Sharp has extended its range of Aquos-branded products with an Aquos-branded PC.

The Internet Aquos computer comes without a monitor. Instead, it has an HDMI connection for an Aquos HDTV.

The product is part of Sharp’s Aquos FamiLink concept, which involves networking an Aquos PC, TV and Blu-ray player.

The Aquos PC comes in a range of five colours and configurations and is shipped with a remote-control handset compatible with any Sharp equipment. A touch-sensitive pad for controlling the mouse pointer is also included.

The PC range also includes terrestrial digital TV tuners, a choice of CPUs and dedicated PVR hard drives up to 500GB, and Windows Vista Home Premium.

The range will be available in Japan by mid-December, priced from £460 to £963.
