Right. Your article made me do it and install a SSD in my nc10 (purchased in dec 2008). With the 9 cell battery (afaik), this means a whopping 9 hour battery life. With WLAN switched on.

I love my nc10 even more…

So there are three batteries out there…the 3 cell, 6 cell and 9 cell. I have the 6 cell.

When new, the battery lasted about four and a half hours flat out.

Now that its seven months old its down to just four hours.

If you turn off the WiFi, BT and wind the brighness down It will last a bit longer,
but thats not how I use it!

Even so, its a fabulous bit of kit which can be highly recommended.

stephen , Im in the same boat mate , I bought the samsung from comet with the understanding that it had a long battery life , i only get two hours out of it , I have managed to squeeze more by pressing the speed step button down to silent mode and running the screen brightness to 3 bars , but this is not really good enough as running the processor at 700 is not what i need , I bought this as a replacement to my old toshiba , it looks like I should have just put up with the size of my old laptop .

I bought an NC10 from Comet in the UK for £279 and thought it was a real dream of a price. Didn’t get told it had a really scrimpy battery though … has barely lasted two hours. Samsung have devalued their offering by selling it with such a poor charge time. machine however is really great and has a fast load up time and good response even compare dto my Sony Vaio VGN-FE21H work horse laptop. Intend taking the Samsung to Antarctica in the near future …. that’ll really test it.
Shame on Comet UK for not advising me they were selling a good product (the best) with a lousy but essential element!

I started using my NC10 on 26 July 2009, but the much hyped battery life only takes 2 hours on normal screen setting!!! I have been running it at normal operation. Please let me know why???

I have an NC10. and am very happy with it. Got it for $409 w/free shipping at Amazon.
Perfect for people on the go.

Anyone have any idea about the battery memory on this thing?
Is it better to drain down before recharging to preserve life or is that on past generation laptop batteries?
