Reviews for the Samsung Q1 Ultra Pro
Samsung Q1 Ultra Premium
Source: Laptop Mag
Ultimately, the $1,299 Samsung Q1 Ultra Premium, like its predecessors, feels like a pricey mobile Internet device. We could actually get more work done on a mini-notebook such as the HP 2133 Mini-Note (starting price of $599), which features a nearly full-size keyboard, larger 8.9-inch (1280 x 720) display, and an ExpressCard slot. And the high-end version of that notebook costs $750 less. Unless you’re absolutely enthralled with having tablet functionality, the Samsung Q1 is one to pass on.

Samsung Q1 Ultra HSDPA review
Source: PC Advisor
The Samsung Q1 Ultra HSDPA is a great device if you just need to stay online while you're on the move, but it's not really equipped for anything more taxing. It's also a bit too big to be easily portable, and the keyboard can be frustrating.

Samsung - Ultra UMPC review
Source: IT Reviews
The Ultra Mobile PC, or UMPC for short, is a breed of computer that is like a small laptop without a hinged screen. Or, if you prefer, like a large handheld computer. Either way, it is an unusual format for a computer. Too large for the pocket, too small for serious use as your main computer.
The Q1 Ultra is Samsung's second attempt at the UMPC format. It is an improvement on what went before, but it does not come cheap and it doesn't live up to expectations in every respect. We remain unconvinced about the UMPC format and await further developments.

Samsung Q1 Ultra UMPC Review
Source: Pocket Lint
The Samsung Q1 Ultra isn’t a machine for the everyman, as you’ll have to have a specific need in mind to get the most from it. We used it for a couple of weeks and never really got used to the limited battery or slow start up. It’s got a WOW factor and Samsung is certainly moving the UMPC in the right direction but the concept just hasn’t found it’s purpose yet. It’s a brave new design that improves usability but we’re still left wondering who will actually use it.

Samsung Q1 Ultra Review - UMPC
Source: Hardware Central
Come November, it'll be five years since Microsoft started prodding PC vendors to build systems for its Tablet PC initiative. Now history is repeating itself, with Intel rather than Microsoft as the instigator: The chipmaker's CEO Paul Otellini has predicted a market for ultra-mobile PCs (UMPCs) totaling $10 billion by 2011. Officially, Intel draws a distinction between UMPCs -- traveling PC companions that run desktop operating systems and applications, with screens measuring about 7 inches -- and still smaller mobile Internet devices (MIDs) -- Web, messaging, and entertainment gadgets with screens measuring about 5 inches.

Samsung Q1 Ultra (Vista Home Premium)
Source: CNet
The Samsung Q1 Ultra (Q1U-V) improves on Samsung's original and much maligned UMPC effort, but it still finds itself caught between two worlds. It can't replace your laptop as an everyday productivity tool because it's still too underpowered, and, despite the addition of a small keyboard split across the screen, text input becomes a chore for anything more than typing a URL or the briefest of e-mail responses. So, let's view it as a portable media player. The Q1 Ultra's 7-inch screen is far larger than anything you'd find on a smart phone or other handheld device, but its meager specs struggle to power Windows Vista and even simple tasks such as smoothly playing video. At $1,199, it's cheaper than other UMPCs we've seen, but that price is harder to justify when you see everything the iPhone can do for half that amount. Given its flaws, we found ourselves enjoying the Q1 Ultra when used only as an on-the-go Web-surfing machine.

Intel's new Steeley processor and McCaslin platform make for a solid UMPC
Source: vnunet.com
However, the Q1 Ultra remains one of the cheapest UMPCs you'll find and it's definitely the best model we've tested so far. Of course, it's not perfect – the keyboard and general usability still need improving – but its build quality and performance is better than the alternatives from Sony and Medion, and we're looking forward to Samsung's next entry in the UMPC market. Pros: Solid build quality; good screen; better performance than original Q1; battery life; Cons: Keyboard too small; below-average Vista performance; Overall: Everything the original Q1 should have been, but you may still be

Samsung Q1 Ultra ultramobile laptop PC
Source: PC Advisor
Samsung's Q1 Ultra is intriguing, but more for its potential than its reality. Ideally, UMPCs would be media powerhouses that would be comfortable for light business tasks such as editing documents and for web browsing and email. However, the Samsung Q1 Ultra, while a useful mobile web and email tool, isn't optimal for other mobile uses. It is about as expensive as many laptops but not as comfortable to use. It's far larger and more expensive than most mobile devices but isn't more adept at tasks such as media playback. In other words, this could be a great device, but it isn't compelling in its present form and price. On the other hand, if it had twice the processor speed and half the price, the Samsung Q1 Ultra would deserve to be a huge hit.

Samsung Q1 Ultra
Source: PC Mag
Bottom line: The second-generation Samsung Q1 Ultra UMPC adds a keyboard and pointing devices, but it's still a work in progress when it comes to usability, performance, and price. Pros: Pointing stick and mouse buttons are a pleasure to surf with. Compact size. Sweet screen. Cons: Integrated keyboard is welcome but needs work. Processing power is not up to speed with Vista's demands. Only 1GB system memory. Needs higher screen resolution. Still pricey.
