Swiveling Touchscreen Viliv S7 Spotted With Lofty Asking Price [NetBooks]
The Viliv S7, that hot little number we spec’d for you in January, is all but out and about today with one little caveat: Its not so little asking price is pegged between $630 to $800, depending on options.
If that drew a bit of a dubious whistle out of you, you’re not alone. Comments over at CrunchGear echo the sentiment, and cast just the slightest bit of uncertainty over this impressive little rig’s shiny sheen.
A recap, if you please:
There’s a substantial seven hours of video playback on a swiveling 1024×600 7-inch touchscreen, thanks in part to the energy-sipping internals. An impressively sized keyboard sits on top of standard netbook specs, including an Atom processor (up to 1.86 GHz), 1 GB memory, 60 GB HDD/16 GB SSD, and Windows XP.
Not bad, but the price is pushing it, if ever so slightly. Or maybe you disagree. Thoughts before the inevitably soonish release? [Dynamism via CrunchGear]

450-600 was the original hinted price which would make it a steal and a definite buy for me but if the 800 model is the full wack (processor at 1.86, and GSM) its still quite impressive.

That’s actually a great price. Tablets are traditionally really expensive and $700 doesn’t seem really that over the top.
Aww, I had hopes this was coming cheaper.
The specs are pretty good, and touchscreen is awesome, but it’s too expensive… even more with a 7″ screen.
A 10 incher maybe, but the way it is, I think there are other options with better cost-benefit.

That’s not a bad price at all really.
