Mostly for web surfing on the sofa in front of the TV. I take it out with me when I don’t plan on working mobile but think the opportunity may arise.

Wondering if you’re still liking/using the S5, and if so, how much and for what?

The form factor of the Viliv S5 makes location shifting a prime use target and I’m wondering if the onboard CPU and GPU are up to the task.

Regards, John

My S5 has USB client software installed. Will try it with my Macbook when I get home from work.

I’ve got one of my Office 2007 licenses running on this absolutely fine! It’s certainly quick enough for normal Word, Excel and Powerpoint use. I’ve run a few fairly intensive Powerpoint presentations on it to try it out and it’s pretty quick.

When do you think it will be available in North America with SSD storage, 3G and a microphone.

A lot of literature on the web says that it this ability, but I am not sure I buy that. I have had 2 netbooks and neither one ran office well at all. Would love to know as this looks really nice.
