With the Viliv brand in place, Yukyung Technologies is eager to share Korea's infatuation with Lilliputian products. The Viliv S5 Premium, which we reviewed recently, didn't quite measure up to our standards. This time around, the company takes a stab at the netbook genre. The Viliv S7 is no ordinary netbook, since it doubles as a convertible tablet, with a resistive touchscreen. Never mind the cramped keyboard or an eye-straining 7-inch widescreen, because there's a select group of users who rather see netbooks stay tiny and portable than blur the line between netbooks and laptops. And then there's the 32GB solid state drive (SSD), which is a netbook rarity these days. The two things that really stand in the S7's way, though, are a hefty price ($650) and the touchpad's odd placement. Clearly, this isn't a device for everyone.
