Review Viliv S10 Blade
In the growing sea of inspiron 6400 battery, the $797 Viliv S10 Blade stands out for both positive and negative reasons. While its design and touchscreen will tempt users with a sleek form factor and keyboard, good looks only get the S10 Blade so far. Its long battery life still can't make up for a number of problems—sluggish performance, hot temperatures, and a high —that make it all but unusable as a tablet.
After seeing demos of the Viliv S10 Blade, both at the Developer's Forum and at 2010 International CES, we were impressed with the notebook's slim form factor, bright high-res screen, and promise of long battery life. The system had so much potential, in fact, that we honored it with a XPS M1730 Battery. Unfortunately, the combination of a slow 1.6-GHz Atom Z530 CPU, a glacial PATA SSD, and inadequate cooling on our review unit make it difficult to recommend.
Design
Though we're not fans of the S10's glossy fingerprint-prone lid, we do appreciate the gray matte deck, keyboard, and bezel surrounding the 10.1 inch display. Rounded corners and tapered edges also contribute to the Blade's slim look. As discreetly stowed in the chassis on the left near the front of the unit, and an antenna for better 3G reception extends out of the lower right corner of the display.
The screen's swivel hinge feels sturdy enough to withstand repeated flipping between tablet and netbook modes of noticeably wiggled back and forth, making us less confident about the design's longevity.
The 10.2 x 7.3 x 1-inch S10 Blade lives up to Viliv's promise of a slim, sleek netbook. The system felt good in our hands, and while at 2.8 pounds it weighs as much as most other netbooks, our arms didn't tire too quickly while
Heat
While using the S10 in tablet mode, we noticed that the bottom of the device became extremely hot. After playing a Hulu video of at full screen for 15 minutes, we measured temperatures at the center of the underside at 106 degrees Fahrenheit, and a dangerous 138 degrees on the left side near the back. The touchpad only reached 87 degrees, and the space between the G and H keys measured an acceptable 95 degrees. However, for a device that's meant to be held, the heat emanating from the bottom is problematic. Viliv intends to mitigate this problem in the final production run, but without a fan we suspect users will still find the heat uncomfortable.

MICHAEL MEURER: "The Supreme Court has said, for example, if Albert Einstein determined that E = mc squared -- which he did -- he never would have been able to get a patent on that. That's too abstract." In the Bilski case, the court said patent examiners could consider what is known as the machine-or-transformation test. This is the idea that a patent should be given to a machine or something that creates a material change, like a chemical process. But a majority of justices said patent examine
