Samsung Q1 UMPC

by Lisa Gade

Comments:
The Ultra Mobile PC (code named Origami) is the result of Microsoft and Intel's collaboration to create a new kind of computing platform. It's not a notebook, though it can do anything a notebook can do, it's not a PDA since it's considerably larger and d

Review Verdict: There literally is pretty much nothing like it! it's gorgeous, it's cool and it functions well in a variety of rolls, from ultra-portable notebook to media player to digital note taker (and more). The hardware is of impeccable quality other than the integ

QuickTake:

Pros: Incredibly portable yet usable Windows machine. Windows XP Tablet Edition and the excellent touch screen make the most of the device. The display is vibrant and responsive. Good built-in stereo sound with SRS and dual array mics. Intuitive and easy to ope

Cons: The resolution isn't consistently supported by 3rd party or even Microsoft's own software: dialog boxes will sometimes run off the bottom of the screen, requiring user-prowess and judicious use of the res switcher button. Price is high when the device has

Review: Samsung Q1 Ultra tablet PC does Windows - tiny Windows

by Peter Pachal

Comments:
I'm a Windows user who loves skinny laptops. My Lenovo-IBM ThinkPad X60 is the Apple of my eye and only willpower keeps me from adding the teeniest Vaio and maybe one of those cheap Asuteks just for the hell...

Review Verdict: C+ Hate to slag off an unorthodox product category, but despite heroic efforts to make this product gorgeous and clever, it's still not as ergonomically hip as virtually any notebook PC.

QuickTake:

Pros: Takes up less space in a briefcase, fits in a purse. Operates with stylus, mini-keyb, dial, or fingertip.

Cons: Vista slows it down. Text input is about as much fun as jamming the stylus into your eyesocket.

Samsung Q1 Ultra Premium, a review of Samsung Q1 Ultra Premium

by Jeffrey L. Wilson

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 (Vista Home Premium)

by Online Shopper

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

by Rory Reid

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

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

by Steve Smith

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-SSD

by Clive Webster

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

Samsung Q1 Ultra

by Ross Burridge

Comments:
Baby steps inch the UMPC concept forward, with the Q1 Ultra the best version yet. But it's still undeniably niche

Review Verdict: The €&oelig;mouse€ button on the left now switches the centre-mounted joystick between a trackpoint and a cursor-style selector (to skip through desktop objects sequentially). You can also use your finger or the stylus, with Vista's software gra...
