I am sure we will be hearing a lot about ultra mobile personal computers (UMPC) over the next couple of weeks, but for now Samsung leads the market so are the ones to beat. Their new newest addition to the range not only sets the bar that little bit higher for the competition but due to its high-performance value coupled with its ultra-portable and ultra-sleek design, the Q1 Ultra Premium UMPC was named a 2008 CES Innovations Honoree.

Very much focussed on the commercial market the Q1 Ultra Premium delivers enhanced performance, extended battery life and superior text entry.

Driven by 1.33GHz ULV Intel Core Solo U1500 Pentium CPU running at a clock speed of 1.33 GHz, along with 1GB of high-speed DDR2 system memory the Q1 is a high performance device with full PC functionality. It weighs less than 2lbs and has a 57.7 watt hour Lithium Ion polymer 6-cell battery that will provide up to 7.5 hours of battery life. Other features include an 80GB 1.8-inch ultra-small hard disk drive, fingerprint reader for advanced system security and an SD/MMC 2-in-1 memory slot a 1.3-megapixel webcam, along with a high-performance dual-array microphone.

It is based on the Microsoft Windows XP Tablet Edition operating system, and will be available for $1,399.
