In case you were curious about the Samsung NC20's battery life, and wanted to know if it was any better than that of the Samsung NC10, NetbookNews.de has posted a short Samsung NC20 battery life benchmarking story which shows how long the NC20 lasts on a single charge in different situations. With all the setting maxed and wireless connectivity on, the Samsung NC20 achieved just a little over 2 hours of battery life. While a standard test yielded exactly 4 hours of juice. Not bad for a battery that's bundled with the device. It should last longer with aftermarket 6-cell batteries, but the point is this: the Samsung NC20 provides great battery life out of the box, which is a good thing for mobile computing enthusiasts who are eyeing to get this 12-inch netbook.

    Hi, I find it very difficult to believe this test.

    I have had my NC20 for a couple of months now, and I’ve managed to at least 4 hours out of a single charge on my laptop, and I’ve always had the wifi on and had the screen on full brightness (I can’t work with any other brightness setting).

    I also think your comment about the 6-cell battery is wrong, I beleive the NC20 comes with a stock 6 cell battery, at least for me in the UK. I was actually googling for a 9-cell battery for my laptop to see if I can get more hours out of it. The dream is to one day be able to work off the battery for the entire day!

    I believe the nc10 comes with a 3 cell battery.. And the battery for both the NC10 and NC20 are both backwards compatible.. So if you grab a NC10 battery and put it into a nc10 you could get more hours out of it.

    Hi, I have owned an NC20 for 9 months. I regularly get 4+ hours out of it with full rightness and wifi on. It came shipped with a 6 cell battery. However, I recently noticed that you can now uy 9 cell batteries for the NC10/20 on Amazon.co.uk for around 60 GBP (100 USD). I’m tempted.
