Samsung today unveiled the Q1 Ultra Premium UMPC, which advances the Q1 Ultra line by delivering “enhanced performance, extended battery life, and superior text entry”.

The Samsung Q1 Ultra Premium sub 2-pound ultra-mobile PC features the Intel Core Solo U1500 ULV processor at 1.33GHz, 1GB of DDR2 system memory, and an 80GB hard drive. This UMPC has a 7-inch touchscreen 1024-by-600 display and the new Version 1.5 of its split-QWERTY keypad, which now provides larger, improved keycaps for easier text entry. Samsung says the Q1 Ultra Premium has up to 7.5 hours of run time with a standard 6-cell battery.


The device includes integrated 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections, a 300 pixel webcam for video conferencing, an additional 1.3 megapixel camera for video recording and taking still pictures, and an SD/MMC memory card slot.


The initial Q1 Ultra Premium UMPC model - the Q1UP-XP (part Number: NP-Q1U/P01) - is based on the Microsoft Windows XP Tablet Edition operating system, and will be available for around $1,399.


Samsung has also announced it will be lowering the price of their entire family of Q1 Ultra UMPC systems.
