Viliv N5 review

We have waited for quite a long time for the Viliv to finally make the N5 available. Nevertheless, Viliv N5 is finally available for purchase. Although it does not have ground breaking specs, it manages to deliver good performance, thanks to its fast SSD.

Viliv N5 coming soon to (online) stores

Viliv, a Korean UMPC/MID manufacture is all set to launch the much-anticipated N5 mini-computer than runs Windows 7 OS. It comes with a very power-frugal (but slow) Atom Z520 1.3GHz processor and runs Windows 7 Starter, which means none of those amazing touchscreen goodies will be available on the device.

Here is a rundown of its specs:

• Intel® Atom processor Z520 (1.33 GHz)
• Windows™ 7 Starter
• 4.8” WSVGA (1024×600) Touch screen
• 32GB SSD
• 1GB DDR2 SDRAM 533Mhz
• Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth 2.0/ HSPA/TD-SCDMA/EVDO/WiMAX Connectivity
• GPS
• 1.3M Pixel Camera
• Optical Joystick Mouse
• 1 USB Host
• Micro-SDHC, Headphone-out, Mic, Speakers
• QWERTY keyboard 63 keys total (Function 34 keys)
• 6 hours max battery life (4 hour movie playback), 15W
• Dimensions: 172(W) x 86(L) x 25(H)mm / 6.77(W) x 3.38(L) x 0.98(H) inch
• Weight: 0.85lb / 388g

Viliv N5 should be out in a month with an expected price of around 500 dollars, which is too much for such an underpowered device.

Viliv adds Windows 7 Starter option to N5 model

Viliv is now offering its N5 model with Windows 7 Starter OS. The specs, compared to the Home Premium version have not undergone any change. Tipping the scale at 388gm, the Viliv N5 comes with a 4.8-inch 1024×600 display, QWERTY keyboard, 64GB SSD, 1GB RAM, Intel Atom Z520 1.3GHz processor and Intel US15W chipset. It is one of few devices out there to sport such a high resolution display.

It somehow manages to pack in a USB 2.0 port, Wi-Fi b/g, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, 1.3MP webcam, microphone and headphone jack. Viliv claims 6 hours of runtime with normal use or 4 hours with video playback. Available for 855 dollars (77,800 Yen)

Viliv N5

Viliv N5 is a clamshell MID that is outfitted with an 4.8-inch display with a very fine 1024×600 pixel display. Even though it is so small, measuring mere 172(W) x 86(L) x 25(H)mm and weighing just under 400gm, it manages to pack-in 2 USB ports, out of which one can be used for transferring data and another that can act as a normal USB port, which means that you can connect for using HDDs, flash drives, printers and so on.

Viliv N5 launch delayed

Viliv’s newest MID/tiny netbook, the N5 has been pushed back further to the month of June (2010). Folks at crunchgear were not too pleased with the Viliv N5’s built-quality and it felt breakable.

Specifications – 4.8-inch 1024×600 display, 1GB RAM, 32GB SSD, Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel Atom Z520 processor, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HSPA, EVGA, WiMax and a 1.3 mega-pixel webcam

Viliv N5

Looks like Viliv is working on a UMID M2 style MID with a 4.8-inch screen. Not a wealth of information is known about this device, but all that is known so far about it is that it comes with a 4.8-inch touchscreen display with 1024×600 resolution.

It runs on Intel Atom processor and has all the modern wireless radios – WiFi, 3G and GPS.

Since it runs on an Atom processor, it will likely be running Windows 7 OS. Let’s hope folks at Viliv do not go in for the Starter edition as we would certainly want to enjoy all the touchscreen features of the Windows 7.
