Samsung Q1 Ultra Mobile PC Review Print E-mail
Written by Laptop News

It's not a laptop. It's not a TabletPC. Man, it's not even a notebook! It's a UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC)! Trusted Reviews, those buggers over on the other side of the pond, get a hold of Samsung's Q1!

Inside the Q1 is an Intel Celeron M running at 900MHz, along with 512MB of memory. The Q1 will accept up to 1GB of memory, but you’d have to dump the 512MB SODIM if you wanted to upgrade. The 40GB hard disk is hardly capacious by notebook standards, but Samsung is limited to a 1.8in model due to the size of the Q1. Wireless connectivity is well catered for with both 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth onboard, allowing you to get connected via a hotspot, or through a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone.

The first problem I encountered with the Q1 was controlling the pointer. You see with the analogue stick on the left, my first assumption was that I would use this to move the pointer, but this is not the case. You use the stylus and the touch screen for pointer manipulation, while the stick acts like the cursor keys on a keyboard. It’s a shame though, because using the stick to move the pointer just seems so natural, and in my opinion would make the Q1 an easier device to use.
