    Hi all,

    I am thinking of buying a Q310 but am getting quite confused as to the difference in models. It appears they range from 0UK up to 3UK with an 4UK being released.

    Can anyone shed some light on the differences? I can see one difference lies in the P8600 Vs P8400 processor but have also seen 1UK with the P8600 and later models with the P8400?

    All very confusing. Thanks for any help provided

    Not sure but there is a Q320 coming out soon which is worth checking out.

    The Q320 is a step backwards with what is most probably a smaller screen in terms of vertical pixels. See here. We can hope that Samsung bucks the trend and maintains the 800 vertical pixels while adding some more width.

    In general, the higher the model number, then the more recent the product. However, that does not mean better.

    -3UK seems to be the model which is most widely available, but it is surprisingly expensive. The speed bump on the CPU seems to be the only difference between -3UK and -2UK and that is not worth even £50.

    I think the UK choice for Q310s reduced when Samsung started selling that model in the US. There's more choice with the slightly smaller Q210.
