Hugo Ortega goes full time UMPC

January 17, 2007

I’ve been heading in the direction of using a UMPC for a few weeks as I contemplate my next computer sometime this winter. Hugo Ortega of Uber Tablet has moved fully to a UMPC solution rather than a traditional laptop or Tablet PC.

I’m considering doing a similar thing, though I may end up getting a miniture Tablet PC rather than a UMPC – not sure on that. The performance of most currently shipping UMPCs concerns me, but it sounds like there are more options (including dual core) on the way for 2007.

Anyway, if you are interested in how moving to a Samsung Q1 would work as your main computer, you should watch Hugo’s 3-part video detailing his setup.

  • JG, I'm planning to pick one up this spring yet, hopefully before the Windows Connections conference that I'm going to be attending.

    I'm interested in finding out how well the Q1 helps your mobility. How many Bluetooth add-ons do you have, or are you not really interested in BT?

    Just got a Q1 (partly because of Hugo's advocacy) and I love it. Keeping track of peripherals is the only issue... how many USB add-ons do I really need?
  • Q1P looks great and I believe Kevin C. Tofel has his Samantha (a Q1P) with him now so stay in touch with the JK blog.

    Thanks for following the UMPC movement - I believe it will be very hard to distinguish between a cell phone and a pc as these products grow! Hugo...
  • Hugo,
    I remember following the UMPC when they were released last year, but didn't think a lot on using them at the time (my T-Mobile was just too new right then :)!) However, over the last several months, I've been more interested in having my main computer environment with me at all times.

    The UMPC is what will fill that need - I'm just curious about the new Q1P and how it'll compare.

    Thanks for stopping by!

  • Hey Rick,

    THanks for the shout out. I was hoping to attract attention to UMPC but it turns out the video trilogy got people thinking quite a bit! Which is great.

    Thanks againa dn keep up the work on your great blog.
