The Vye S18 is also known as the Kohjinsha SA1F00V (I think its that one) which is basically the original Kohjinsha SA1 with a touchscreen, much improved keyboard, 1GB of RAM, a HUGE 120GB hard drive and Windows XP Pro.
What Laptop in the UK have just reviewed it and are quite happy with it…
Don’t come to this machine expecting it to replace your current laptop as it simply isn’t designed to be an everyday machine. Instead, if you find you need the resources of a full operating system and need to write emails or documents on the go, this is a viable alternative.
That’s a totally fair comment but I would definitely add a mention of the 4 hours battery life, fast SD and CF slots, bright screen and tiny size. Although the device has been out for a while its still in the running if you need a mini notebook for inputting data.
I reviewed the original Kohjinsha SA1 when I had it earlier in the year. I gave it the thumbs up then even though it had a sub-par keyboard. With the improved keyboard I definitely give it the thumbs up now. For more detailed info and links to images and news, check out the full specification page on the product portal.
