In the light of your battery test results, its clear that you have the LED (280nits) screen in the Q1P.
I wasn’t aware of this. Its good news and a great advantage.

Hi.

Yes LED backlighting will be a big advantage. Arguably more important than reducing CPU power as under normal use (browsing etc) the CPU and chipset don’t do much work. The good thing is that for UMPCs, this tech is coming earlier than for notebooks.

Raon Vega, Kohjinsha SA1, SOny UX, P1610, Q1b, Q1P-SSD (not Q1P), LG C1, V700 are examples that have LED backlighting.

Unfortunately, battery tech seems to have been slowed down due to the SOny battery recall and there seems to be more focus on safety rather than engergy density at the moment. Li-poly batteries might become more common in 2007 but they don’t bring any capacity advantages.

I don’t see the life of a UMPC extending much past 3 hours via Intel and 4 hours with VIA this year for sub-kilo devices.

Regards
Steve.
