Samsung Q1P SSD UMPC Reviewed
by Sze | Filed under Computer, Laptop
The Samsung Q1P is an UMPC with no hard drive but 32GB NAND Solid State Dirve. Q1P is powered by an Intel Pentium M ULV 1GHz processor, 1GB RAM, and Intel GMS 915 graphics.
Samsung Q1P has also a 7-inch LCD display, WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.0, Two USB 2.0 ports, VGA out, Ethernet, and a Compact Flash slot.
LaptopMag says:
Performance was strong, and heat cast-off was minimal. The unit earned a respectable 3DMark03 score of 906-nearly twice of what the Sony VAIO UX Premium scored. Wireless strength was hit or miss, with a strong 14 Mbps from 15 feet but only 5.2 Mbps from 50 feet. Unfortunately, the battery drained in little more than two hours.
A couple hundred dollars more will get you an OQO model 02 with a keyboard, mobile broadband, and twice the battery life. But if you prefer a larger screen for surfing and playing media, you may prefer the Samsung Q1P SSD.
