The Samsung Q1 has a sharp 7-inch LCD screen and its native resolution is 800x480. It has a button on the left-hand side with which we can change resolutions to 800x600 or 1024x600, top marks have been awarded to Samsung for creating a beautifully designed and a well constructed ultra mobile PC. Samsung Q1 displays its ability to back up its stylish appearance. The inclusion of the USB keyboard travel pack is more of an obvious necessity than a good idea, making the Q1 a usable mobile computer. General browsing and even watching video is a joy on this little machine.
To the right of the screen there is a four-way rubber pad for activating four user definable buttons, just like the programmable hot keys on a notebook. Below the four-way pad there is a Return button and just below it is a Menu button. The Menu button is an important one as it provides options like switching the Wi-Fi on and off, turning the sound off and changing the brightness level. The Menu list is a screen rotation button with which you can switch the orientation of the screen through 360 degrees, in 90 degree steps. However the joystick orientation doesn’t vary as the display rotates, so by navigating menus using the joystick gets a bit confusing when the user flip into portrait mode.
The chassis is littered with ports and connectors. On the right hand side there is a power socket, a USB 2.0 port and a D-SUB port hidden behind a plastic flap. On the left is another USB 2.0 port, a headphone jack, a volume control, a hold switch and a connector for powering an external optical drive. The hold switch allows the user not only to deactivate all the buttons on the Q1 but also locks the touch screen.
