Samsung - Q1
Comments:
There's a new class of computer on the market: the Ultra Mobile PC. That, at least, is what Microsoft and Intel would like you to believe, and what Samsung, the purveyor of the first of its ...
Review Verdict: Samsung's Q1 is unavoidably likeable, with its big screen and all round novelty value. But it is more expensive than many laptop computers, and doesn't really offer enough that is exciting to justify the price-tag.

Samsung Q1 Ultra (Vista Home Premium)
Comments:
Despite making improvements to its UMPC, Samsung still has work to do. The underpowered Q1 Ultra is best used for on-the-go Web surfing, but there are better and cheaper devices for that specific task, including that new device from Apple you may have rea

QuickTake:
Pros: Appealing, polished design; multiple input options, including a QWERTY keyboard; lightweight; big, bright screen; inexpensive for a UMPC; relatively roomy hard drive.
Cons: Poor performance limits its versatility and appeal; battery life is still short of what's needed for a UMPC; no cellular broadband; the keyboard is an improvement over onscreen keys, but typing is still a challenge.

Samsung Q1: first ultra-mobile PC
Comments:
Review Verdict: The Samsung Q1 is clever in principle, but it is too large to be truly portable and too small with too short a battery life to be of serious practical use. Early adopters with lots of disposable income will flock to it, but in its current incarnation we s

Samsung Q1 Ultra HSDPA
Comments:
Sit back, relax and prop up the Samsung Q1 Ultra HSDPA ultra-mobile PC for a touch of on-the-go surfing. This attractive upgrade to the previous Q1 and Q1 Ultra models features HSDPA and Wi-Fi so you can access the Web at your local hotspots. How convenie
Review Verdict: The Samsung Q1 Ultra HSDPA is an interesting evolution of the UMPC concept, but still flawed by the fact it's difficult to use. It's OK as a second PC, but most users will get better use out of an ultraportable laptop

The petite Samsung Q1 ultraportable
Comments:
If you believe the smaller the better, then Samsung's Q1 Ultra Mobile PC should satisfy with it petite svelte profile. Just don't expect it to work too hard.

Samsung Q1 Ultra
Comments:
A split keyboard and better battery life make this ultra-mobile PC a better option than the original, but we're still not sure when and where we'd use it.

Samsung Q1 Ultra Premium, a review of Samsung Q1 Ultra Premium
Comments:
Improved performance can't help this pricey UMPC find a place in our mobile lifestyles.
Review Verdict: The Q1 Ultra Premium comes preinstalled with Adobe Reader, McAfee Virus Scan (30-day trial), and Microsoft Office (60-day trial). A fingerprint reader powered by AuthenTec's biometrics technology is also included. Samsung covers the system with a one-year

Samsung Q1 Ultra
Comments:
Even with a keyboard and a dazzling screen, the Q1 Ultra, Samsung's second-generation UMPC, is still a work in progress.
Review Verdict: The second-generation Samsung Q1 Ultra UMPC adds a keyboard and pointing devices, but it's still a work in progress when it comes to usability, performance, and price.

QuickTake:
Pros: Pointing stick and mouse buttons are a pleasure to surf with. Compact size. Sweet screen.
Cons: Integrated keyboard is welcome but needs work. Processing power is not up to speed with Vista's demands. Only 1GB system memory. Needs higher screen resolution. Still pricey.

Samsung Q1-SSD
Comments:
Despite the improved specifications, the Q1-SSD is anything but mobile computing nirvana.
Review Verdict: However, using the Q1 as a portable PC is still another matter. There's no trackpoint, no keyboard and no right-click function for the plastic stylus. The Sony UX27 at least has its small keyboard and mouse buttons, giving you full control over Windows. W

The task of kick-starting the UMPC generation has inadvertently fallen to the Samsung Q1 Ultra. After a flurry of Vista-powered UMPCs from leading manufacturers including Sony, Asus and Nokia, the world has been waiting for that one supreme device
Review Verdict: A significant improvement over the original Q1, but as a concept the UMPC still has a long way to go
