WALTER S. MOSSBERG from Wall Street Journal stated “Skip the Q1, and hope that the next generation of the UMPC will be better” about the new Samsung Q1 UMPC device. He reviews the device with mainly the Cost, Battery Life, Keyboard and Navigation.
The Q1 uses a slow, low-end Intel processor, a Celeron running at 900 megahertz. But it was adequate for the common tasks I tested — Web surfing, email, playback of audio and video files. There’s also a 40 gigabyte hard disk, 512 megabytes of memory, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless networking, an Ethernet port, two USB ports and a slot for Compact Flash memory cards.
