Welcome to a Samsung Camcorder Battery specialist of the Samsung Digital Camera Battery
A 10in Samsung netbook with excellent battery life and an interesting design.
The Samsung NF210-A01AU is a 10.1in netbook that possesses a unique style and a very long battery life. It's perfect for anyone who wants to type documents or watch videos for hours on end while travelling. Even though it's a small, 1.37kg netbook, it doesn't feel uncomfortable to use. The downside is that it's still a netbook, so it will perform sluggishly in certain situations.
The large 6-cell battery like samsung BP-1310 Battery, samsung NX100 Battery, samsung IA-BH125C Battery, samsung HMX-R10 Battery, samsung IA-BH130LB Battery, samsung SMX-K45 Battery, samsung BP85A Battery, samsung WB210 Battery, samsung IA-BP125A Battery, samsung HMX-M20 Battery, samsung HMX-Q10 Battery, samsung HMX-T10 Battery allowed us to use the netbook away from an outlet for a very long time. Of course, how long it lasts for you will depend on the type of tasks being undertaken and the level of the screen brightness; if you just use the netbook for basic Web browsing, reading ebooks or writing documents, and if you use the lowest screen brightness setting, it will last longer than 10 hours. In our standard battery rundown test, in which we disable power management, enable Wi-Fi, use maximum screen brightness and loop an Xvid-encoded standard-definition video, the battery still lasted for an exhausting 6hr 10min. This is one of the best results we've seen in a netbook to date, and it means you don't have to worry too much about charging it often.
The Samsung NF210-A01AU isn't new — it's already been around for a few months — so it doesn't feature a dual-core Intel Atom CPU like the Acer Aspire One Happy, for example. Instead, it features a single-core Intel Atom N455 1.66GHz CPU with Hyper-Threading. The rest of its configuration is standard, too: you get 1GB of DDR3 SDRAM, Intel GMA 3150 graphics, and a 250GB hard drive. It recorded times of 7min 12sec and 8min 3sec in our Blender 3D rendering and iTunes MP3 encoding tests, respectively, which is approximately what we expected of a netbook with these specifications. To put its performance in perspective, the HP Mini 5103, which runs a faster Atom N475 CPU (1.83GHz) and 2GB of RAM, finished the Blender 3D test in 6min 21sec, while the afore-mentioned Aspire One Happy finished Blender in 4min flat.
While using the NF210-A10AU, it didn't feel annoyingly slow. We were able to browse the Web, watch standard-definition videos and create documents without wanting to tear our hair out (what's left of it). The only time the netbook became sluggish was when we had lots of active Web pages open in Firefox. Sites with lots of JavaScript and Adobe Flash elements (lots of ads, for example, or live scores from a sports site) consumed lots of CPU cycles and made the netbook unresponsive at times. Samsung has installed Norton Internet Security for Netbooks, which actually issues a pop-up to let you know when an application is using too much memory or hogging the CPU so that you can do something about it — i.e. kill that application. For the most part, though, the Samsung NF210-A01AU felt great to use, and we used it a lot.
Overall, long battery life and an interesting design separate this netbook from others on the market and, despite it using older Intel Atom technology, we think it's a #winner. We'd recommend it to anyone who wants a light and long-lasting ultraportable for basic Web and document tasks.
