Samsung is now shipping three new solid state and XP-based Ultra Mobile PCs, appealing to a broader range of users.
Samsung today announced three new additions to its Q1 Ultra family of Ultra Mobile PCs, the Q1U-SSDXP, the Q1U-ELXP and the Q1U-XP. The new Q1U-SSDXP is the first Q1 Ultra to incorporate a solid state Flash NAND hard drive instead of a traditional rotational disk drive. All three of the new models are based on the Microsoft Windows XP Tablet Edition operating system.
32GB NAND flash memory in the Q1U-SSDXP
Complete with a 7" wide 300 nits ultra-bright LED backlit LCD, an integrated split-QWERTY keypad and full PC compatibility, the Q1 Ultra is designed to enhance productivity, ease-of-use and portability in a range of personal and professional scenarios. With an increased battery life of up to 4.5 hours coupled with faster speeds, flexibility and mobile functionality, the Q1 Ultra provides a solution packed into an ultra small 1.5 pound package.
Fueled by a 32GB NAND solid-state memory hard drive, as opposed to the traditional 1.8" rotational disk drive found in the other Q1 Ultra models, the Q1U-SSDXP UMPC can fully operate in a diverse range of user/environmental conditions. Overall system performance is significantly enhanced, as the SSD is capable of reading and writing information to and from the solid state drive faster than models with typical disk drives. Without any moving parts, the Q1U-SSDXP is a more rugged solution for those users in need of that. Priced at $1650, the Q1U-SSDXP is available now.
Fully featured UMPCs for mobile professionals
The Q1U-XP and Q1U-ELXP are fully featured UMPCs aimed at the B2B commercial markets that require a Windows XP operating system. Pre-installed with the XP Tablet Edition, the UMPCs feature the new Intel Ultra Mobile processor running with a clock speed ranging from 600 MHz to 800 MHz, along with 1GB of high-speed DDR2 system memory.
Both UMPCs also come with a built-in biometric fingerprint reader, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR. These new Q1 Ultra models also feature a 300 pixel webcam, along with a dual-array microphone, enabling face-to-face video chatting/conferencing. Additionally, a 1.3 megapixel camera supports video recording and still pictures. Like the Q1U-SSDXP, these models are equipped with a seven-inch wide WSVGA LED backlit LCD touch screen that boasts a resolution of 1024 x 600. All Q1 Ultra UMPCs also integrate the AVS Now instant-on feature, allowing users to enjoy a host of multimedia applications, including video, movies, music and still photos, without booting up Windows.
The Q1U-ELXP, powered by the 600 MHz A100 Ultra Mobile processor and a 40GB hard disk drive, is available for $1000. The Q1U-XP UMPC, powered by the 800 MHz A110 Ultra Mobile processor and a 60GB hard disk drive, is available for $1150. All models are available nationwide, through a variety of well-known retail and e-tail outlets.
