Samsung Q1 Ultra UMPC

The Ultra is for ultra wide. While other UMPCs tend to have a boxy, chunky look, the Q1 frame measures just 9-inches wide and slightly under an inch thick. This real estate provides enough space for a 7-inch touchscreen and a split keyboard flanking the l

QuickTake:
Pros: Glossy black finish and sleek design cater to the stylish set. Big 7-inch touchscreen. SD media card slot, standard 3.5-mm headphone jack, Wi-Fi, and fingerprint scanner built in.
Cons: Some input controls (mouse function, buttons for left and right clicks, and four customizable options) are too flat and less effective than the touchscreen-stylus combo. Slow to open and toggle between applications.

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.
