Yes processor upgrades are possibe, HOWEVER the processor is soldered.

One final drawback, at this time the one review i have read covering an upgrade to core2duo reports that while it was successful the Q1 can only see/use 1 core.

Dear all,

it might not be the perfect place to ask this question due to the topic discussed, but can we swap the Core solo processor in the Q1 ultra premium to a core 2 duo??? is the processor soldered...did anyone thought of this upgrade??

Fresh Vista Ultimate install on my Q1UP with 2gig of kingston ram.

Base score: 2.1
Processor: 2.9
RAM: 4.4
Gfx: 2.1
Gaming gfx: 2.4
HD: 3.7

Again, this is the score before any driver updates, which would explain the lower gfx score.

I don't find the LED screen to be pale. Looks vibrant and colorful to me but I haven't had any older Samsung laptops to compare it to. Most of the posted pics I've taken of the device have had the Brightness set to around 50% or so.

Hi, Kevin, I'm thinking of getting a Q1UP after watching your video and reading some recommendations from umpcportal. What I'm mostly interested in is the 7’ screen. The 4.5’ screen on vaio UX is really a pain.
Is the LED screen on Q1UP looks pale? I had some models of Samsung laptop before, and they have this problem.

Nansong, I'm hoping that the Q1UP gets a BIOS upgrade as you can currently only set the memory for graphics use to either 64 or 128 MB. The graphics chipset is capable of using more, but the device currently limits it.

Vaio VGN-UX380N
Processor 2.9
Memory 4.3
Graphics 3.4
Gaming graphics 2.7
Primary hard disl 3.7

This UX model has the same U1500 cpu. Main difference, the 945GMS chipset in UX380N uses 224M shared graphics memory while Q1UP is 128M.
