It’s been a crazy week at the home office — Mobile Tech Manor — with gadgets everywhere and business as usual. Unfortunately my attention was largely focused on a family crisis that dominated everything going on at the Manor. Let’s talk tech for a bit.
Korean gadget maker Viliv is getting the N5 ready for release, and I have a unit in my hands. I’ll be giving the Viliv N5 a deep dive over the next few days, but have some photos of this little Windows 7 PC for your enjoyment.
