By now my obsession with UMPC’s should be quite apparent, so naturally I was thrilled to learn that Samsung is prepping a third revision of their Q1 UMPC. Specifications are tragically absent, but it’s safe to assume that it will be sporting some form of Intel’s Atom processor.
The target launch date is early next year, again no specs or pricing have been annouced.
I’ve been going back and forth and whether or not I should buy a UMPC. Now one could argue that I don’t need one, and they’d be right‚Ķ but I can dream!
If I did buy one, I think I’d go with the Samsung Q1U-V. The base specs are decent for a UMPC (especially for its price of $799)‚Ķ Intel Processor A110(800MHz), 7″ WSVGA screen, 1GB DDR2 400 RAM, 60GB 4200rpm hard drive, Intel GMA950 graphics card, and Windows Vista Home Premium (which I would replace with Windows XP Tablet Edition). Full specs are located after the jump.
In the end I opted not to purchase one, mainly because between my laptop and my iPhone I already have enough gadgets to cover my computing needs. Though I might reconsider getting a UMPC if the HTC Shift drops in price drastically.
