Title: Samsung Q1 Ultra Premium
Pros: Lightweight; excellent battery life; relatively roomy hard drive.
Cons: Multiple input options, all of which are awkward; design gets only slight update from previous versions; more expensive than new Netbook-style laptops.
Verdict: The new generation of similarly sized Netbooks do more and cost less than the Samsung Q1 Ultra Premium, putting another nail in the UMPC coffin.

Title: Samsung Q1 Ultra
Pros: Good looking , Packed with features, Good display
Cons: Quite pricey, Awkward to use at times
Verdict: The mouse key isn't as flexible as we would like but the lockable dial key (useful for scrolling) is a neat addition. What is less impressive is the stylus, which at times proved unresponsive, slightly off-centre and quite irritating to get commands enter

Title: Samsung Q1
Verdict: Kudos to Samsung for being the first to put an Origami device on sale. However, it has plenty to do to make the concept attractive enough to shift a significant number of units, and it certainly isn't going to do so at this price. There are also design is
Summary: The chip in this card may sound familiar to those who read June's 7600 GT review. In terms of basic architecture, the 7600 GS and 7600 GT are identical, but there are a few subtle differences.

Title: Samsung Q1 Ultra HSDPA review
Verdict: The Samsung Q1 Ultra HSDPA is a great device if you just need to stay online while you're on the move, but it's not really equipped for anything more taxing. It's also a bit too big to be easily portable, and the keyboard can be frustrating.

Title: Samsung Q1 - UMPC and Tablet Reviews by Mobile Tech Review
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

Title: Samsung Q1 Ultra
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.

Title: Samsung Q1 Ultra - UMPC and Notebook Reviews by Mobile Tech Review
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.
Verdict: Certainly an elegant and feature-rich device that addresses the first generation Q1's shortcomings. But for this price, I want more speed! Even simple tasks are annoyingly slow on the Q1 Ultra. But for those who need an goes-anywhere full Windows PC that
