Appealing, polished design; multiple input options, including a QWERTY keyboard; lightweight; big, bright screen; inexpensive for a UMPC; relatively roomy hard drive.

The Samsung Q1 Ultra HSDPA is an interesting evolution of the UMPC concept, but still flawed by the fact its difficult to use. Its OK as a second PC, but most users will get better use out of an ultraportable laptop ...
