Samsung NC10 Battery Life

The Samsung NC10 claims up to 8 hours of battery life. In practice you get a little less than this, but it still way outperforms any competition. While some netbooks boast long life at under 3 hours, the NC10 goes comfortably for just under 7.

Why does it perform so well? While some manufacturers brought out ‘me too’ laptops, Samsung realised that the point of a netbook is you can take it anywhere. And anywhere doesn’t necessarily have power sockets. So they sacrificed a little weight (around 35g extra – the weight of a bag of crisps) to boost the life with a 6-cell battery.

This test graphic from LaptopMag shows just how great it is:

That’s right – at 37.5% brightness (comfortable if youre not in direct sunlight) the NC10 goes for almost 7 hours.
