Sun Ultra 3 LaptopIt’s doesn’t have the sexy attitude of a Sun Fire V40z or the power of a Sun Fire E25K, but Sun Microsystems is just as proud of its first ever laptop.

During the company’s annual JavaOne developer fest in San Francisco this week, the company touted its Sun Ultra 3 mobile workstation.

The laptops come in 15-inch and 17-inch versions running either a 550 MHz or 650 MHz UltraSPARC IIi processor or a 1.28 GHz UltraSPARC IIIi processor. The Ultra 3 laptops will also sport up to 2 GB of memory installed, 512MB of RAM, a 40GB disk drive, and 2D graphics with an option to upgrade. The computers also come with 802.11b wireless networking so you can take it far away from the server room.

The laptops come pre-installed with Solaris 10, Solaris 9 or Solaris 8, although Sun would rather you take the one with Solaris 10.

The Ultra 3 also comes with Sun’s Java Desktop System pre-installed and either StarOffice 7.0 or GNOME 2.0 productivity software depending on which model you choose.
