Samsung Q1

 

Even though there's no denying that Samsung's ingenious UMPC is amazingly small, it just might be too small.

Good speaker sound quality. Full-blown Windows XP operating system. Very portable. Resolution toggle button.

No keyboard or optical drive included. Not very good for writing extensively. PDA-like stylus. Slow processor and nonupgradable RAM. ; Watch the Samsung Q1 Video Review!

Samsung Q1 UMPC and Accessories Reviewed

 

If we gently ease Apple into an out-of-mind drawer then it becomes fair to say that the award for most anticipated hardware of the year goes to the UMPC, March's Origami campaign for which persuaded some, at least momentarily, that Microsoft was hip....

Most reviewers have spit the majority of their bile at the UMPCs lack of physical keyboard. Instead users have a variety of touchscreen-based methods. Aside from handwriting recognition, which can cope with a surprising degree of scrawl thanks to...

Samsung Q1b UMPC Review

 

Brighthand's Antoine Wright brings us his thoughts after spending some time with Samsung's second try at an Ultra Mobile PC.

The Samsung Q1b has prices starting at $899 in some places, which can be a good buy if your needs are simply that of a computing Tablet device that can serve as a weekend/weeknight warrior and you need the robustness of Windows XP applications. It’s...

First Looks: Samsung Q1 UMPC

 

After giving the Samsung Q1 a thorough going over, we were left highly impressed and concluded that UMPCs as well thought-out as this are a special "breed" that is worth anyone's attention.

Samsung Q1 -- First Thoughts Review

 

The Samsung Q1 is the first in a new breed of mobile computing dubbed UMPC, ultra mobile PC. The idea behind the UMPC is nothing new, but with a little marketing polish, the Microsoft team has re-badged what was known prior as a small screen slate...

Samsung Q1 SSD - Solid State UMPC

 

Samsung was quick out of the gates with its UMPC, but now you can get the Q1 with a solid state disk.

The solid state disk is also much lighter than a standard mechanical drive, so the overall weight of the Q1 SSD is 734g compared to 779g for the standard Q1. Does 45g make a big difference on a device like this? I guess that depends on how light you...

Samsung Q1 review

 

Does the UMPC have a future?

Good build and battery life

Sluggish operation

It's a good-looking machine, but what would you actually use it for?

Samsung Q1 SSD review

 

The flashy little ultra mobile PC

Flash drive makes it much quicker to use ; Packed with handy features ; Excellent screen, with solid touch abilities

Battery life isn't much of an improvement ; Some of the software is clunky

The addition of the flash drive makes this a far more tempting tool. But it's not for everyone
