Viliv S7 makes the Vaio P’s head turn

Listen to article

As in literally turn a 180-degree with a swivel and touch screen display — the Viliv S7 is more or less similar to the Sony Vaio P, plus the added bonus of making it a mini touch screen tablet.

Viliv S7 Mobile Internet Device
Intel Atom Silverthorne (1.33GHz or 1.86GHz)
7-inch (1024×600 pixel) touchscreen display
1GB RAM
1.3MP webcam
16GB SSD or 60GB HDD
WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth, WiMAX, HSDPA, GPS
SDHC card slot, 2 USb ports, 1 USB(Link), VGA output
Windows XP

Specs sheet indicates a plethora of connectivity options. It’s a bit heavier than the Vaio P at 1.8lbs but if you consider the battery life of about 7 hours (continuous playback), then that’s much better. No product price available on the official  website (via Viliv Product Page).

Sorry, the sales can speak for themselves. I’ll be buying either this or the x70 atom. I preferr the x70 but i want the 1.86 processor… depends on how well the 1.3ghz processor performs i guess. The vaiop can fit in a pocket, yeah, but the 2×1 aspect ratio on that thing is enough to make it too awkward to even consider. mabey you fanboys can keep the product line from bankruptcy ;)

If you have a touchscreen gadget as “big” as this one, OC people would not appreciate seeing a lot of thumbmarks on the screen. A vaio is still a vaio. :)

It has a trackpad on the upper right corner, better than the nipple on the Vaio P. It runs XP and has a standby time of 200 hours on a standard battery. It also might have a 3MP (not 1.3) camera on its underside based on the photo gallery at UMPC Portal. Plus the swivel touchscreen convertible to tablet and 1.86GHz Atom, I’m giving this one a serious look. A bigger screen would be nice, but not a deal breaker.

It’s a touch screen thing anyway..but you’ll definitely miss the boat without a trackpad.

No trackpad or pointing stick? Interesting. And ultimately, tiring. :)

The Vaio P is still the better choice between the 2. When it comes to the specs and aesthetics, the vaio P pretty much owns the S7.
