Only 10 minutes ago I was wondering what the $1250 Q1-V002 was.
millard has just bought a Pentium based Samsung Q1 from Fry’s and is reporting on Origamiportal.com
We’re waiting to hear confirmation that it really is a Pentium-based device (as the salesman told him.) but this could be the Q1-V002 or even the Q1P that was rumored.
Its raining Q1s but why on earth didn’t Samsung say anything? Have Frys been a little too keen to get the device on the shelves?
It’s appearing at other retailers too and showing up as a Pentium device. Not on Samsung websites though.

Steve, I think this same model shows in your previous post screenshot. Looks to still be Via powered (based on the “V” in both product codes). My suspicion is that the extra money is for the 50% increase in hard drive capacity, plus the 1 GB memory module, not because of a Pentium chip. Then again, you never know!

Hi Kevin.
A $350 premium for 30Gb of HDD and 512MB RAM doesn’t look like VFM to me. I’m betting on the Pentium!
Especially as the retailer calls it a ‘Pentium Ultra Mobile PC’
Cheers!
