Comments:
Review Verdict: The Samsung Q1's sleek case is definitely eye-catching, but we expect better performance and battery life for a thousand of our hard-earned bucks.

QuickTake:
Pros: Compact and lightweight Plenty of interaction options on both the touch-screen and the system itself Sleek design Supplied with standard and extended-life batteries
Cons: Miniature keyboard is too small for anything but minimal text input Underpowered for Windows Vista Currently lacks 3G/HSDPA connectivity UMPC format has little to offer over existing platforms

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.

QuickTake:
Pros: Full Windows in a very portable format. Screen resolution is high enough for a near-notebook experience and the touch screen is accurate and responsive to finger touch. Good networking with Bluetooth, WiFi and even HSDPA on one model. Navigation software
Cons: Quite slow. Interacting with small on-screen elements like Start Menu program lists, hyperlinks and close boxes take a precise hand (and use of the stylus rather than a finger). The tiny keyboard is better than nothing, but not by much.
