Slim, sleek and shining through with features, the Samsung Q1P is designed to match the all the demands for high performance mobile computing with multimedia and the desire for a bold personal statement.

The Q1P SSD is the most powerful UMPC model available today. Fueled by an impressive 32GB of SSD (solid-state NAND) flash memory, as opposed to the traditional 1.8″ Hard Drive found in the earlier Q1 models, the Q1P SSD model is ideal for those applications that require a no-compromise, high-performance mobile computing solution that can operate in diverse conditions.

The SSD reads 300 percent faster (53MB/s) and writes 150 percent quicker (28MB/s) than normal hard drives. As a result, multiple application programs can operate simultaneously and large volumes of data can be edited and reproduced more efficiently. The Microsoft Windows XP operating system will boot up 25-50% faster on the SSD than on other drives—good news for those in a hurry. Moreover, the typical 1.8-inch hard disk drive weighs around 50 grams; whereas the SSD is 20 to 30 grams lighter.

    Review By Samsung

    The Q1P SSD UMPC is designed for optimum performance. With the SSD-enabled model, boot time is 25-50 percent faster than systems that employ a traditional hard drive. Overall system performance is significantly enhanced, as the SSD is capable of reading 300 times faster (53 MB/s) and writes 150 percent faster (28 MB/s) than models with typical hard drives. Furthermore, seek time (the amount of time required to find information in the system memory) is greatly reduced on the SSD-enabled model. With its departure from the traditional hard drive, the Q1P SSD UMPC is equipped to withstand twice the impact of the hard-drive-enabled model. The Q1P SSD model’s battery life is also improved, as it requires less power to run the flash-based SSD hard drive versus a conventional, rotational media-based hard drive.

    The Q1P SSD certainly looks and feels cool. The sleek black widescreen design seems like an oversized Sony PSP. The 1.7-pound unit is portable, to be sure, and slips into a foam-like protective sleeve. An analog controller on the left side also mimics the PSP as well. Stereo speakers are on either side of the seven-inch LCD, and a directional pad and two action buttons are on the right. It fits nicely in two hands, although that makes it tough to manage with a stylus

    Shed your arsenal of gadgets while on the go–your notebook PC, PDA, and MP3/PMP player–and replace them all with the incredibly small yet amazingly powerful Samsung Q1P SSD Ultra Mobile PC. Weighing just 1.7 pounds and measuring 1 inch thick, the sleek, elegant Q1P SSD has a pearl black casing and can be carried in a small briefcase, daypack or handbag. Yet it offers a full range of computing power normally associated with a laptop computer–a quick, ultra-low voltage Intel Pentium M processor, Windows XP Tablet operating system, Internet access using Wi-Fi networks (802.11b/g) or through your cell phone (via Bluetooth connection).
