The Samsung N310 netbook makes the most of the latest developments in mobile computing to offer a battery life well in excess of five hours from a single charge. It does this in a number of ways, using the best components, as well as including what is possibly the best netbook battery management software around.
Samsung is in an almost unique position of being able to source many of the actual components used in the N310 netbook from its own factories. In this way, before the netbook has even been built, Samsung is able to manage the overall efficiency of the system – something that cannot be guaranteed by those machines made up from more varied sources.
The use of a 10.1-inch LED screen not only makes for a light design but is also more power efficient. LED technology uses a row of power-efficient LED bulbs along the base of the display panel, instead of twin fluorescent tubes as found in more traditional screens.
Then there is the use of the Intel Atom N270 processor, which has been designed specifically with low power usage in mind without impacting on performance for everyday tasks, such as web surfing, checking email or just using a word processing package when out and about.
When it comes to making the most from that battery life, the Samsung Battery Manager software is a great tool that allows you to define exactly how you want to use the N310. You can choose from ‘Maximum Performance’ where as chose either a faster system but shorter battery life to ‘Maximum Battery Life’, which as the name implies gives you the best battery life possible.
There is a third basic option, which is ‘Normal’ and we’d suggest using this until you get used to exactly how you intend to get the most from you Samsung N310. If you’ve used a Samsung netbook before, there is a fourth option that allows you to ‘Customise’ the settings to your own liking.
Whichever format works best for you is possible, as Samsung has worked hard to make sure the experience you get from the Samsung N310 netbook is the best possible.
