Laptops are becoming smaller and smaller and after we saw and lusted after the Sony Z series we were curious how the new Viliv S10 would perform. First off, it looks great. It’s very slim and the battery life is promising thus far. Is it an iPad replacement? Sure. It’s light enough and small enough and quite cute.

I think netbooks will end up being more like the Blade than actual laptops. The touchscreen makes more sense in this small scale except that this still uses a stylus, a big sad-maker for me. We’ll have a full review shortly.
