Samsung NC20 battery life benchmarked

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.
