・MD-100EX

隱藏的豪華版

不只網路資料獨特罕見，官方似乎也未曾宣傳的高顏質MD-100EX~極為罕見的淡青色系並採亮面塗裝，帶出如瓷器般通透的質感。

不難看出原型來自於MD-MS100~可能是Sharp為特定通路打造的專屬機型。

雖然貴為獨特版本，100EX外箱上卻以直白俗氣的設計告訴你豪氣地配備了貴森森的AD-MS10BT鋰充電池 x2，也得以號稱擁有200%的9小時續航(機身僅能收納單顆電池)，另一特點則是怎好意思宣傳的附上兩片MD空白片。

有別於一般貝殼機構繁瑣的機蓋開開關關，採用了以水平向快速入 / 出光碟Slot In機構，實現One Touch滑順的光碟裝載體驗，而往後幾年Slot In也成了Sharp的亮點特色。不過Slot In需要較多的空間占比機身也較"厚實穩重"些。

為了搭配Slot In形色一改過往採用橫向設計，大占比的留白及曲線的運用，整體顯得簡潔大氣。頗可惜是並未隨著主機一新僅配備了無螢幕的線控操作。

貼心功能"Synchro REC"，錄音時偵測音訊的有無而連動錄音的啟動 / 暫停，讓錄音編輯更為輕鬆簡便。

The Hidden Deluxe Version

Not only unique and rare in online information, but also seemingly unadvertised by the official channels, the high-quality MD-100EX is an extremely rare pale blue model with a glossy finish that exudes a porcelain-like translucence.

It's easy to see that its prototype likely originated from the MD-MS100, possibly a model crafted exclusively by Sharp for specific distribution channels.

Despite being a unique version, the outer packaging of the 100EX straightforwardly informs you of its opulence by including the luxurious AD-MS10BT lithium rechargeable batteries x2. This allows it to claim an impressive 200% extended battery life of 9hr (the body can only accommodate a single battery). Another notable feature is the inclusion of two blank MD discs, although it's not prominently advertised.

Different from the typical clamshell mechanisms with complex opening and closing actions, the 100EX adopts a Slot-In mechanism, requiring only a One Touch horizontal motion for convenient and quick disc insertion and ejection. Slot-In, however, requires more space and makes the player somewhat thicker and heavier.

To complement the Slot-In design, the player departs from the previous horizontal layout and features a clean and airy design with a significant amount of white space and the use of curves. Unfortunately, it did not come with a screen-equipped remote control and only featured a screenless remote control, which is a missed opportunity.

The thoughtful "Synchro REC" function detects the presence or absence of audio during recording and automatically starts/pauses recording accordingly, making recording and editing more straightforward and convenient.
