Together with the relatively recent release of a modified model of an ultra-compact
Q1 computer with a
Pentium M 1GHz processor , rumors of the next
Samsung UMPC also began to leak to the Internet. And finally, the first photos and characteristics of this model appeared on
Engadget .
One of the devoted readers of
Engadget , who wished to remain anonymous, sent them part of the presentation of what was expected in the near future Q2. Although some features are comparable to the
Q1P , for example, a 7 inch touch screen, 1 GB of RAM, and 60 GB of HDD - other technical features indicate that a lot of work has been done to improve the device. According to the sent presentation, the frames from which you can see at the bottom of the article, Q2 will be equipped with an
Intel processor capable of working with
Vista Home Premium , the working screen resolution will grow from 800x600 to 1024x600 WSVGA, two video cameras are added (1.3 megapixel for “photos” and 0.3 megapixel for video conferencing ), the device will also be equipped with a fingerprint scanner. But the most interesting thing is that the device will have a convenient QWERTY keyboard and a wide choice of wireless communication protocols (Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi (802.11b / g),
HSDPA and
WiBro ). Yes, you are not mistaken. The device is equipped with three completely wireless adapters that allow you to stay connected in any situation.
Thus, we can conclude that
Samsung thoroughly worked on Q2 and tried to eliminate all the shortcomings of the previous models.
Advantages:
- Screen resolution 1024x600;
- QWERTY keyboard;
- Large selection of wireless protocols.
Disadvantages:
- Operating time from the standard battery 4 hours;
- Incomprehensible 1.3 megapixel camera;
