Big Bang
MemberWhen it comes to dealing with netbooks a key feature that I take into consideration is the battery life.
The Samsung N140 is said to get up to 11 hours of battery life, which we can assume isn’t an accurate claim. I don’t blame Samsung for giving us such a number, I guess they want us to believe that there’s an ‘improvement’ to their release of the N Series netbooks.To get to the point, I would really like to know from an actual user, the battery life they get from their N140. I would be satisfied with how long the battery lasted under normal usage and activity. For those who have used it on a higher or lower setting, and know how long the N140’s battery lasted, I would appreciate it if you could share with us. Thanks!

MemberIve not timed it and plug it into the mains a lot so can’t really give an accurate figure, but looking at it now it says 98%, 7.21 hours remaining. This figure seems to go up and down quite a lot.

On the same settings (brightness etc) it’s now at 84%, 9.27 hours remaining so it’s up and down like a brides nighty.September 16, 2009 at 9:40 pm #201176TCMuffin

GuestI’ve just given mine a full charge and discharge, I’ve only just unboxed mine, but I’m getting 9.5 hours normal usage with the backlight on and brightness level set to medium low settings. A good start. I’ll charge and discharge a bit more of the comeing days and shouldreach the ten hour mark.

MemberI just charged the battery up for the second time and at 100% it says 11.15 hours remaining.The battery manager is set to normal. I have tweaked my system as per this post: http://www.sammymobile.com/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5465
the actual usage time might come down a couple of hours if I am on the internet all the time.

MemberHi guys…just looking at the N140 on Comets site, bit confused as there are two options – the NP-N140-KA04UK and NP-N140-KA03UK. Does the 04UK and 03UK refer to different batteries maybe, like the issues with the NC10?

MemberAs far as I know the model numbers refer to different colours, eg. 02 for white, 03 for black and 04 for blue.
