PC Magazine

Samsung Electronics on May 1 launched its Q1 here—not the company's latest quarterly earnings results, but its first ultramobile PC. The device is the first using the "Origami" mini-Tablet reference design from Microsoft and Intel, introduced in March at the CeBIT expo in Germany.

According to officials, small computers, running the Tablet version of Windows, will be available from Best Buy's online story starting May 7 and in stores in the summer.

The device, which runs Microsoft's Windows XP Tablet Edition operating system, costs $1,099 and comes standard with a 40GB hard drive, 512MB of memory and a USB cable. A variety of accessories are available from Samsung for the Q1, including a keyboard, DVD drive and extra power packs.
