I just spoke with a laptop store in Framingham, MA about this - they said they have a Sharp '386 laptop for $9 (nine) K, and few customers lining up for anything over $2,500. I didn't see it - he said it's terrific, true VGA res. PC Week this week rumours a '486, 8-hr. battery-life, 15-lb with Sharp VGA color display (non-LCD) this summer - list $7,500, American-made (JKL).

Any responses would be appreciated. Thanks. Thanks to everyone who responded about the color laptops. It looks like I will be waiting for a while before I buy any. The magazine articles were very helpful and confirmed that the colors are washed out and there is room for improvement. Also, as some other people pointed out they are very expensive. From what I've read, I would recommend that anyone considering purchasing a color laptop may want to wait until they are more reasonably priced and offer better color capabilities.
