    viliv-s7

    This, my friends, is the Viliv S7. Mr. DHL just dropped it off. Let me say that this is one nice convertible, touchscreen netbook. Many commenters on the last post concerning the S7 baulked at the price, but I can tell you now that I’m holding it that the Viliv S7 is solid, well built, and a fantastic form factor. So far I love it besides a few small but important details.

    What I like so far:

    • The fantastic screen
    • The responsive touchscreen
    • Its very clean design
    • It boots XP very fast
    • The GPU strong enough to playback Hulu fullscreen
    • It has a super battery life
    • The 3G wireless built-in
    • It has a hardware hot key to change screen orientation
    • The speakers are extremely loud

    Things I’m not sure about

    • The tiny, tiny keyboard
    • The tiny, tiny trackpad
    • The slightly feminine design
