With a touch pad on the front and a full keyboard on the back
HDMI pass-thru provides for overlaid user interface
PrimeTime combines content from multiple sources
Full QWERTY keyboard (though button keys would be nice)
Lots of online services and apps. OnLive support adds gaming functionality.

The editors didn't like

No Hulu. And no ABC
Or Comedy Central through the browser. Vizio's UI doesn't take advantage of the big screen
And app names are awkwardly truncated in the main menu. No dedic
Online game play resolution depends on consistency of Internet connection
