Reviews for the Samsung Q30 Plus

80% An ultraportable notebook that's got style, but not for those after performance
Source: vnunet.com Archive.org version
Samsung's updated version of the Q30, internally badged the Q30+, but still available on its website as the Q30 Red, adds extra processing power and the 915GM chipset to this super-slim, ultra light notebook. It is aimed at people who don't want to carry around a heavy machine, but want enough power for office tasks and decent battery life. To gauge its performance and portability, we've been road-testing the notebook for several months, including two international trips.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 900: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip with shared memory on Mobile Intel 915GM chipset. It is the predecessor of Graphics Media Accelerator 950. The performance can be compared with the Mobile Radeon 9000 (with a 64 bit memory bus).

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

In the comparison very fast per megahertz and very modest with weaknesses in floating point operations.
It is also available as a low voltage version with very small current consumption.

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.

The same applies to tablets in this size range.
