The S7 EXP S US Mobile Internet Device from Viliv is a compact tablet-style notebook computer that weighs less than two pounds. Its 7" touch-screen display can swivel 180°, folding flat for tablet-style use, or aligning perpendicularly with the base of the system for use as a traditional notebook. The computer, which weighs just 1.8 pounds, can operate for up to 9.5 hours on a single battery charge under ideal conditions. It can sleep for up to 200 hours per charge, and can be ready to use from sleep in as little as four seconds.
The system features a wealth of wireless connectivity options. Standard 802.11b/g Wi-Fi allows you to get online at Internet hotspots. The Bluetooth 2.0+EDR module supports compatible wireless peripherals, including keyboards, mice, and headphones. Additionally, you'll be able to participate in online video chat thanks to the integrated webcam and microphone.
The S7 is powered by a 1.33GHz Intel Atom Silverthorne Z520 CPU. It is loaded with 1GB of RAM and a 16GB SSD hard drive. Windows XP Home is the installed operating system. You can expand the computer's storage via the use of SD and SDHC memory cards, which fit into the integrated card reader. The computer's interface is enhanced by Viliv's Shuffle UI overlay which allows you to customize the look and feel of your computer.
You'll be able to use the computer's on-screen keyboard to type when in tablet mode. Switch to the standard notebook form factor to use the S7's physical keyboard. A miniaturized trackpad, situated above the keyboard, allows for precise cursor control.
One of the S7's features that makes the device (and its category-crushing battery life) even more useful is its 4-second wakeup-from-standby under Windows XP. Need to take a quick note or show someone the webpage during your meeting? Pop open the S7 and you are working straight away. And with such fast wakeup, you won't hesitate to put the S7 back into standby -- making the effective use time of one charge even longer
The S7 keyboard is tight, but it's large enough to type on after getting used to. There's also an on-screen virtual keyboard intended for use in tablet-mode. There's a small trackpad for navigation, but most people rely on the touchscreen. Other integrated features include two USB 2.0 ports, one mini-USB port, an SDHC slot, a camera, VGA-out, AV-out (requires dongle), audio in/out, and internal speaker/mic.
The Viliv S7 has the right combination of small size, advanced features, and run-time (7+ hours!) to add ease, fun, and productivity to your busiest days!
