Samsung NC10

Once again, it looks like Samsung have definitely been listening to their users. Notebook Magazine has conducted battery life testing on the NC10 Netbook with some impressive results. Take a look at these stats:

  • 12% screen brightness: 7hrs 34mins.
  • 50% screen brightness: the duration dropped to 6hrs 30mins.
  • 100% screen brightness: 4hrs 38.

Conclusion? Dim your screen to conserver battery life! Admittedly, load testing does have a bearing on the battery life of any portable device but even the latest advances in display technology still leave a lot to be desired.

The stat above show that, when it comes to power consumption, Samsung is moving in the right direction. The Q1 Ultra is another excellent example of how Samsung have listened to the customer and implemented the ‘right stuff’ in terms of requirements. This attention to detail is probably one of the reasons why LaptopMag calls the NC10 the ‘netbook of choice’, for now. Isn’t it time that some of the other OEM’s took a note out of Samsungs book and started giving us more battery life?
