Samsung’s initial foray into ultraportable personal computers elicited enough gripes–about the Q1’s steep price and its lack of a keyboard–to make some manufacturers flee the market. Instead, Samsung stood its ground and responded with the stylish Q1 Ultra.

The Q1 Ultra delivers several notable improvements over the original Q1. These include an 800-Mhz ultralow-voltage processor Relevant Products/Services from Intel, a Windows Vista operating system, the ability to connect to cellular data networks, and a built-in Webcam for videoconferencing. What’s more, Samsung has made the device lighter, about 1.5 pounds, and added a built-in keyboard and other features that simplify navigation.
