The Q1 is one of the first ultra-mobile computers (UMPC) produced under Microsoft's "Origami" project. The Q1 can boot into two different modes: typical Windows XP (OS can be replaced), and AVS mode running Windows XP Embedded. AVS mode runs in a separate partition and boots directly to a music, photo, and video player with no Windows Explorer interface. The AVS feature is unique to the Q1.
Microsoft Vista installs and runs successfully on the Q1 with some driver issues. Samsung offers all models with Windows XP, the "Pentium M" model can now be purchased with vista pre-installed. It does not offer a free Vista upgrade for users who purchased it with Windows XP. The Q1 is not listed on Microsoft's update web page, but Microsoft has recently demonstrated the new Origami Experience user interface on a Q1 running Vista.
The CF port has by some testers been reported as being very slow compared to using an external card reader in the USB 2.0 port. Samsung has removed the CF port altogether in the Q1b version, and it is unlikely to return in future versions.
