Samsung n10c’s battery life is 8 hours
Posted November 12, 2008 – 3:49 pm in: Samsung
A few weeks ago, Laptopmag reviewed the Samsung NC10 and were just shocked by the amount of battery life it got. Laptopmag was so surprised that we ran additional tests at different brightnesses just to see how each level affected the system’s endurance.
They found that, at the comfortable level of 37.5-percent brightness (3 bars out of 8 on the NC10’s scale), They
got an awesome 6:52, which is longer than any previous 10-inch netbook by over an hour and a half. We also found that at the minimum level of 12.5 percent brightness, They were able to achieve a whopping 7:34, and though not ideal, the screen was usable.
Seeing how close we came to the magic 8-hour mark, we got greedy and decided to push the system to its limits by installing a the power-efficient Intel X25-M SSD and disabling the bluetooth radio, just to make sure we weren’t sucking any unneeded power.
With the high-end Intel SSD installed, the bluetooth disabled, and the battery at 100 percent, we started our LAPTOP Battery Test and crossed our fingers. The test, which causes the notebook to continuously surf the Web until the battery dies, yielded a remarkable 7:55, just five minutes shy of 8 hours!
