The 950 should give good performance on World of Warcraft. It ran OK on the Q1 without hardware tnl.

http://jkontherun.blogs.com/jkontherun/ is reporting the Q1 Ultra to be available in Korea "very soon".Looks like a May release is still looking good!

Same in Europe. I hope.

Please stop this thread immediately...you guys are killing me! J/K

This release date thing is driving me nuts. It is like reading a mystery novel and having to wait until the last page to figure out the "whodunit."

lol! same here, everyday for me is like 'groundhog day' at the moment: checking these forums as well as the many other ones out there!

On a more serious note, its looking like it's not going to be available until end of May now, as May is only a little over a week away.

Put me in the crazy bin too for multiple daily checks on availability info all over the net.

Some encouraging news here http://onlyumpc.com/news/samsung-q1-ultra-to-ship-in-a-month

Here's a video review of the device in Spanish. That suggests to me that the device is ready to ship pretty soon in Europe

The new CPU seems slightly disappointing to me, I was hoping for a cut down Core 2 but it seems to be a Pentium M.

The new chips are neither Core 2 or Pentium M based. If it were a core 2 then you would be complaining that the UMPC only has 1 hour of battery life. These type of situations are a lose lose situations when dealing with the general public. They want top-of-the-line 65 watt desktop chips inside UMPCs and want them to run on 3 watts. With my knowledge I pride myself that I am not part of the "general public" sector.

yep, u know it better than intel:

"The processor is a derivative core based on the Intel® Pentium® M processor architecture"

not pentium m ?

The general public is the group that does the buying. If we didn't look for ways to do more with less, we would all be stuck with the Atari 2600 of laptops. Yep, I am happily counted as one of those who wants more performance out of my UMPC.
