Vye Computers is specialized in ultra mobile PCs and it markets several mini notebook models under the name VyePC.

Their latest addition is a nice little laptop with a cool slim design as you can see in the picture and it’s called Mini-V S41.

It features a 7-inch display with a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels and is powered by an Intel A110 processor aka Stealey with a speed of 800 Mhz.

The graphics quality is taken care by the Intel GMA 950 chipset while the operating system is one of the latest Microsoft Windows versions.

It has 1000 MB RAM memory, 100GB HDD storage space, SD card slot, Compact Flash slot, VGA, Ethernet, wireless connectivity (802.11 b/g), and Bluetooth 2.0.

For video chat it provides a built-in camera ad you can burn your favored media using the integrated DVD-RW optical drive.

It’s a pretty cool mini PC with a nice construction measuring 233 x 177 x 33 mm with a weight of 1100 grams.

Review: Vye mini-v S37

Recently, Vye Computers has released a new mini PC model, the mini-v S37 Model B, which tries to be capable of performing all the required tasks of a standard 15.4-inch notebook computer but in a smaller, practical size of just 7 inch in diagonal at a weight of 1120 grams with the 6-cell battery.

There is not a big difference between the S41 model I wrote about back in February, as the S37 has 120GB of HDD storage capacity, with just 20GB more compared with the previous model, and some minor design differences that are not too visible, but you have several enhancement options which you may add such as touchscreen, more HDD storage up to 250GB, or a 32GB Solid State Drive.




The new convertible mini notebook features a QWERTY keyboard, Microsoft Windows operating system, and functionality of phone, music player, Portable Movie Player, iTunes/DivX/Skype support, 3G, and ports for VGA, LAN, USB, Bluetooth and other connectivity types.

To access it you can use the keyboard, mouse, the touch pad, joystick, tilting, swivel or the touch-sensitive WSVGA TFT display.

Model B is powered by the same processor type as the previously mentioned S41, and it is an Intel A110 capable to reach 800 MHz speeds, while the memory is a DDR2 667MHz of 1024MB.

You can then opt for Windows Vista Home Premium, the XP Professional or no operating system pre-installed.

Vye Mini-v S41A is available at a price of £ 779.99 and other features include DVD+/-RW double layer super multi drive, Silent Mode, LAN connectivity, headphone jack, 3-in-1 memory card slot, and 2 USB ports.
