Laptops Thinks

The Samsung Q1 Ultra A110 is seriously underpowered and if you wish to upgrade from XP to Vista, which is easily done, it be a bad mistake causing the entire thing to run a whole lot slower. The Q1 Ultra is the best version yet by Samsung but still seriously niche

Laptops Price Comparison

Pros

The attractive and sleek design, multiple input options including a full QWERTY keyboard as well as being lightweight and large make this rather appealing

Cons

There is no cellular broadband and even though the keyboard is an improvement it is still a challenge and seeing that the battery life is still fairly weak this isn't really a portable tablet

Introduction

The Samsung Q1 Ultra at first glance seems impressive and attractive but under close examination a number of inaccuracies spring up. Samsung have split the QWERTY keypad between the left and right-hand sides of the rather large 7inch screen which makes it seem like an overgrown games console rather than a business orientated tablet pc.

Nonetheless, it is still rather comfortable to hold and even though it is an inch thick this helps to give it its sturdy feel and solid build. The 7inch screen backs a 1024x600 resolution which helps to give you a clean, clear and bright screen and with the capability to switch to portrait mode surfing the web is easy and fun and so, may I add, is watching films. Even though the screen is generally rather glossy surface reflection is fairly minimal.

The mouse button on the left switches the centre-mounted joystick between a track point and a cursor style selector. Nonetheless, you can use your finger or even the stylus, which is really a waste of time, and the touch screen has a number of multi-touch functions such as press-and-hold acts as a right-click.

The A110 is run by an Intel A110 0.8GHz processor, including 1GB Ram and a 40GB hard drive and the Intel GMA 950 graphics integrated chipset is a rather basic but modest performance.

In all the Samsung Ultra Q1 A110 is seriously underpowered and not the best pick of the punch for a tablet pc.
