Samsung NC10 sips power while others guzzle

The problem with the netbook market is that there are so many new models being released each week that purchasing something today will most likely lead to immediate buyers remorse tomorrow. This might be one of those moments for me.
Notebook Magazine have just done a full set of battery life tests on the NC10 Netbook and it looks like Samsung have once again worked their magic. The tests included continuous Wifi-on web browsing in battery saving mode which is a very reasonable test to be doing. Far better than the misleading 2001 Jeita test and much more real-life’ than the Battery Eater Pro turn everything and and run it at full-steam’ approach. The NC10 returned:
- 12% screen brightness: 7hrs 34mins representing an average drain of about 7.6w which is just a little bit more than what I saw on the Q1 Ultra.
- 50% screen brightness, the duration dropped to 6hrs 30mins which is an average 8.7W
- 100% screen brightness, the test result reduced to 4hrs 38 minutes which is 12.3 watts drain.
