Windows 8 on the Blade
details
I'm downloading Windows 8 right now.
I took a look a the system requirements and saw that my blade matches the minimum specs pretty closely.
1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
  • 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
  • 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
  • DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

    I was actually thinking about returning it, but the following has made the experience much better. Still doing some tweaking. In the meantime, take a look... http://www.computingunleashed.com/2009/06/speed-up... In lieue of non-upgradeable RAM, also trying the Ready Boost feature with 2GB SD card.

    I should try this. You think SDHC is any faster (Class 6 of course).

    S10 Blade first impressions.
    details
    Well my S10 arrived yesterday and I love it. Browsing in tablet mode is awesome and the thing is completely silent. A part of me still wants more RAM but this has not turned out to be an issue. The windows touch pack games are fun. Surface apps are heavy to the point of unusability. As far as the I pad comparisons, well the iPad is lighter has a better screen has more points of multitouch and is slicker. The S10 is so much more powerful with its multitasking and torrent apps and everything else... Read more →

    Want the Viliv S10 Blade? What are you waiting for?
    details
    I'm on the fence. I think this is the tool I've been waiting for, for a long time. I am not considering a slate only form factor. I like the flexibility of being able to type on a real keyboard. However, I'm concerned about a few key items... 1) processor performance...Atom Z530/Z550...not planning to do any major computing, mainly couch surfing and media playing, but will it be enough? - how would a Z530 or Z550 performance compare to say the newer N450 processors? 2)...
