Samsung Q1b UMPC review by Propstm.net

Matt Propst has posted a review of the Samsung Q1b, VIA-based UMPC. There are some nice stats too.

Minimum 3 hours battery life. That is really fantastic. Most ultra mobile PC device have a minimum battery life of around 1:30-1:45.

Average battery life: 3.5 hours. No indications of max battery life but in the real world, you don’t need them.

There are some images which show that it only has a mono speaker and that the U.S. version does not have the cellular radio slot.

Like most ultra mobile PC owners/reviewers have found, Matt mentions the kitchen and sofa as surfing spots. Matt obviously had fun doing the review too. That looks like raspberry beer!

I’m so pleased for VIA. It proves that the C7-M is the way to go for ultra mobile PC solutions for battery life. I’m pleased for me too. I made some predictions on the C7-M and I was a bit confused when the v7110 turned up with just 2 hours battery life.

I think we’ll be seeing more devices with the C7-M and I can’t wait to see what’s happened to those Mobits X-15 devices.
