Samsung Q1 Ultra (NP-Q1UAY01) Specifications and information

Samsung Q1 Ultra alternatives

1024x600 on a 7" screen is just perfect! The mouse is a little dissapointing (its not a synaptics pointer but more of a basic joystick) and the keyboard will take a lot of work to get used to. McCaslin architechture seems good for Windows XP.

Samsung Q1 Ultra was the first of a new range of UMPCs based on Intels McCaslin architecture. McCaslin provides a 600/800Mhz processor coupled with a 945 chipset (Aero Glass support.) A full accessory range has been shown that includes USB docking station and battery options.
The Q1 Ultra EL specification (US) has been updated since its launch. It runs on an 800Mhz processor but has no web camera and no bluetooth support. Many websites (Including Samsungs own) don't make this clear.

Samsung Q1 Ultra alternatives

Netbook Navigator Nav 7, 7 inch, 590 grams (1.3 lbs)
A 7" UMPC built on Atom fills a requirement for a number of markets but take note, this is the older Atom platform. (Z5XX) with the slower GPU (200Mhz compared to 400Mhz on the Z6xx series.) It's strange to see a device like this without any form of video out. The rear-mounted touch panel and mouse buttons should improve Windows usage although we would want to test that before recommending a buy. Weight seems acceptable - 550gms
Toshiba Libretto W100 (W105-L251 PLW10U-00201V ), 7 inch, 699 grams (1.54 lbs)
A new and interesting design from Toshiba. Dual capacitative touchscreens and some well-integrated keyboard software make this a very interesting choice in the UMPC sector. Heat could be a problem and battery life with the small battery down to 2hrs. High-performance CPU should drive Windows 7 touch and muti-touch features well. Premium price.
Sony Vaio (P11), 8 inch, 632 grams (1.39 lbs)
Another well specified clamshell-style UMPC. Slightly too wide for thumb typing but wide enough for a touch-typing experience. 1.8Ghz, 2GB RAM and SSD helps with speed and this should make quite a rugged travel computer too.
Kohjinsha SK3 (SK3KX06GA), 7 inch, 720 grams (1.59 lbs)
Viliv X70 EX, 7 inch, 660 grams (1.46 lbs)
Samsung Q1EX, 7 inch, 648 grams (1.43 lbs)
Sony Vaio P500 (VGN-P530H), 8 inch, 635 grams (1.4 lbs)
Archos 7 (320GB), 7 inch, 640 grams (1.41 lbs)
Raon Digital Everun Note (S16S), 7 inch, 742 grams (1.64 lbs)
A very cheap touchscreen UMPC. 1Ghz CPU is as powerful as INtel Atom at 1.6Ghz. Battery life is quite poor but additional batteries are cheap and small. Good keyboard. Build quality not the best.
Raon Digital Everun Note (D24S), 7 inch, 742 grams (1.64 lbs)
This is one of the most powerful UMPCs we've ever tested. Its light enough to be used as a carry-everywhere PC solution but the small form factor does not lend itself well to long periods of work. Battery life can reduce very quickly when under heavy usage. Processing power is locked to 800Mhz when under battery power.
