Viliv has a new MID for us, the X70 and this time is a 7-inch model. It has the same size of those first Eee PC netbooks but the only difference is that it doesn’t come with a keyboard. The X70 is the follower of the S5 and it will offer you a WSVGA screen, an 1.2/1.3GHz Atom processor, 16 or 32GB of SSD storage space, HSPA, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, GPS and XP. The device is ready to boot Windows XP in less than 5 seconds and it has an impressive battery ready to offer you about 5.5 hours of video playback. All that will be available for just $599, which is the same price its predecessor, the S5 carried. Now imagine if Apple had launched an iPhone-like MacBook tablet/netbook. Would it look anything like this?

Toshiba Korea has just launched its new notebook pc for professionals. The Toshiba Tecra S5 is built with a 15.4-inch monitor that is targeted at mobile pros. The laptop is powered by a 256MB NVIDIA Quadro NVS 170M optimized for 3D modeling and similar tasks. It also steps up to a much faster 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo on an 800MHz bus and includes important workplace-related touches ranging from a fingerprint reader to a serial port for administrating older server PCs.

Toshiba will also offer the S5 with 1GB of RAM and a 160GB disk but replaces Vista Home Premium with Business. It should be available now in Korea for $2,166 and is likely to arrive in the US with a different configuration.
