S41 notebook-style UMPC with DVD drive on offer at Expansys UK.

Posted on 06 February 2009 by



s41 Another offer from Expansys. This time it’s the Vye S41 which is one of the only netbook-style devices to offer a convertible screen and a DVD drive. We tested this and moaned about the price back when it was 1000 pounds but Expansys in the UK have it on offer now for half of that price making it much better value. It runs the Intel Stealey CPU platform (think 1.3Ghz netbook performance) with 1GB of RAM and an 80GB drive with Vista OS.  The DVD drive makes it quite unique amongst UMPCs and Netbooks.

    is Stealey the A110/A100? so it is a rough equivalent to the Silverthorne Atom 1.3ghz?

    I am sitting her reading this article on my 2002 Fujitsu Lifebook P5010. Which has a DVD drive and a 9″ 1280×768 screen.

    Exactly how and why is this netbook thing news?

    Tim, yours is a 9″ with a dvd drive (or has the p5010 perhaps even a 10.6″ screen?), the Vye S41 is a 7″ with a dvd drive. Smaller is better in the world of umpc’s ;)

    Tim Reply:

    Actually, my P5010 has a smaller bezel around the lcd. Overall, my laptop is 1/8″ longer, 3/8″ less wide, 1/16″ thicker. Essentially the same size.

    Not to knock the Vye. It is just ironic that the rest of the world finally caught on to what Fujitsu has been saying for almost a decade!

    Small is better and more convenient. Fujitsu has definitely never been the low cost leader, so now it is nice to see that I can finally buy a replacement “netbook” for my venerable beat-up P5010 without dropping $1500 in cash for it.

    whoops, I was looking at the P1510 specs (the smaller notebook that Fujitsu made at the same time as mine, which didn’t have a dvd). Mine is slightly bigger wih its 10.6″ screen.

    So this is basically like the Kohjinsha SX3 that has the DVD with 8.9″ Screen, and has the Atom 1.33GHz
