Only UMPC | Ultra-Mobile PC

Kevin [jkOnTheRun] has an interesting article about the batter discharge of the Samsung Q1 and the P7.

I noticed the other day that Carrypad listed the battery discharge rates of the Paceblade P7 UMPC in their review, so I promptly downloaded the same application they used and gave it a whirl on the Samsung Q1. If you’re interested, the software is called Notebook Hardware Control and it’s actually very useful for any notebook computer, not to mention it’s free.

WiFi off, screen brightness at 50%:

• P7 = 11.3 Watts for a runtime of 2.3 hours
• Q1 = 10.0 Watts for a runtime of 2.9 hours

WiFi off, screen brightness at 100%:

• P7 = 11.9 Watts for a runtime of 2.18 hours
• Q1 = 10.8 Watts for a runtime of 2.68 hours

WiFi off, screen brightness at minimum:

• P7 = 8.1 Watts for a runtime of 3.2 hours
• Q1 = 8.7 Watts for a runtime of 3.3 hours

USB devices disabled (through windows hardware control – disables Bluetooth and wifi) screen min:

• P7 = 7.37 Watts for a runtime of 3.52 hours
• Q1 = 8.3 Watts for a runtime of 3.49 hours
