Samsung Q1 Ultra Mobile PC Review

The Samsung Q1, the first UMPC released in the market, is attractively designed and well built. We soon grew fond of it and would highly recommend it to executives, journalists, road warriors and the likes desiring a small but immensely robust PC alternative with portable computing qualities not available in tablet and ultra-portable notebooks.

For its impressive multimedia and portable computing qualities, the Q1 gets our major approval as a handy travel companion on long-distance flights, daily commuting trips and the likes. And because it packs a CF card reader, the Q1 also presents itself as a valuable tool for photographers as well. The bundled Microsoft’s Journal allows one convert the Q1 into a ‘real notebook’ to take down notes quickly by scribing directly on the screen by means of the stylus input.

In the hands of the adventurous and creative sorts, the functional possibilities of Q1 UMPC are almost limitless – despite its inconspicuous dimensions.
