Lots of sites have Samsung’s press release on the Q1 Ultra but it seems that you can get one for as little as $799. Gottabemobile has a full breakdown of all the models so I’ll direct you there.
The primary difference between units is processor (for the lowest model), hard drive size, OS version and built in HSDPA. Not counting what should be an ultra expensive SSD version, you’ll pay about twice the intro price for a business machine with an 80 gig HD, Vista Business, built in HSDPA and an Intel A110 processor vs. and A100.
The mid range unit at $1,199 get you the Intel A110 processor, 60gig hd, Vista Home Premium but not HSDPA.
All of the units have a built in 1 gig of ram. Kudos to Samsung for that! Also kudos for the 4.5 hr battery life. Even if you’re stretching that’s double the original Q1. I’m a little perplexed about XP tablet as the OS on the low end version. I know Vista home doesn’t have the tablet pieces but I wouldn’t be buying XP for any tablet after using the Vista tablet bits.
This is a price point that going to cause some problems for other manufacturers. Yes it’s somewhat artificially low, but Samsung is still going to beat others over the head with it. The Q1 Ultra is a huge leap forward in a year (with a couple more models in between as well!). Nice work Samsung, now my wife is going to want one of these to replace her Averatec!
