Are you one of those people who can look at the names of two different processors and know immediately which one is more powerful? I'm not. That's why when I got my Samsung Q1P in December, I expected it to run circles around my Sony Vaio UX180P. Call it naivete or just plain ignorance, but I really thought that a 1GHz Pentium M with 1GB of RAM was faster and "better" than a 1.2GHz Core Solo U1400 with 512MB of RAM. Evidently, it's not. And just to make sure I wasn't imagining the slower performance, I ran both handtops through four different benchmarking programs and conducted some informal stopwatch-based tests. Read on to view the results.
Given the extent of my CPU knowledge, it shouldn't be unexpected that I've never considered benchmark results a factor when shopping for a new computer. This is largely due to my minimal computing needs (no Photoshop, no multimedia playback, no heavy video editing, and no 3D gaming), which I assume puts me in opposition with most other handtop enthusiasts and computer folk in general. Normally I don't mind being the cheese, but with the new crop of devices generating renewed interest in the UMPC market, I thought it was a good time to post some hard numbers.

The UX is not bad at all, I just wish if it has got a alightly bigger screen, but I am trying to live with the 4.5" and I am getting use to the keyboard btw! Peformance is much MUCH better compared to Asus R2H so Samsung Q1 is not different.
