I'm going for the 410 because of the battery life. I can't figure out why they wouldgo to a smaller battery when the primary upgrade is the n455 processor so thatit works with DDR3 ram. I want to be free of power cords for extended periods oftime with a netbook so that's why I'm getting the 410!

i like the 410 becuse of the longer battery. but the 440 is newer modell , because it s newer it does not mean that is more faster??? or why the upgrade modell supposed to be better? can i just buy one more battery with it and carry it with me? i don t know what is ddr3 ram , and n455 processor. i m very bad with computers.

I suggest you keep the NC10SE and skip the 110. The NC110 has a maximum 1GB of RAM vs the 2 GB of RAM that you can upgrade to with the NC10 line. I too considered waiting for the NC110 but called Samsung after hearing rumors that the NC110 would max out at 1 GB. They confirmed it and had no explaination why.

the 4400mAh is just how much power it will give within one hour, with this battery my asus lasted about an hour and half longer than the original battery, but i was upgrading to battery with more cells

It depends on your performance settings and what you're doing on the laptop. I use mine with high performance and generally use light programs (MS Office) and web browsing and it generally lasts about 2-4 hours depending. The life of the battery can extend quite beyond that I believe by turning off features and downgrading performance, but I have not really explored those features fully.

I'm not sure, Luis. But don't buy it. We've bought three in the past year. Two had to be returned immediately because they were defective. The one that "works" has all sorts of annoying issues. Maybe just bad luck for us, but after a third dud, I'd have to recommend looking away from Toshiba.

I agree.Best to check with Lenovo/IBM first. (I installed one of These on my 410 without too much Trouble)

I have the same laptop, and have been using the battery for about three weeks. So far, so good. The battery life is definitely lower than the original battery, but I didn't keep in-depth stats on the original, so it's hard to gauge. I get about 1.5 hours of life out of this battery when watching movies.

Mine was new and on the first day, and in the first week, that battery got uncomfortably hot. The web is replete with references to it but Toshiba Tech Support engineer feigned ignorance about. Sad since it hardly has enough power to make it the bathroom and back.

It´s no more than 4.5 hrs. I looked at the customers reviews before I buy it so I knew the battery life had not the best average. But I´m still very happy with my purchase, its a great laptop.

Open control panel and choose "add/remove" programs...scroll down to the program you want to uninstall and click yes to the uninstall option. It's a good idea to reboot your computer once that is done. The NB505 has one slot for memory you will need to open the back of your netbook and remove the one gig stick already in that slot, then insert the 2 gig stick. No, it does not have to be from Toshiba but stick with the better known brands of Crucial or Kingston...$33 is about average for a compatible 2 gig stick. I ordered mine from Crucial through Amazon..."CT25664AC800 2 GIG 200-pin SODIUM DDR2-6400 Memory Module." I don't recall any instructions with the netbook but they will come with the memory stick. Be sure to unplug the netbook AND remove the battery before you open the case!

I'm having the same experience as @JustMe. I bought this as replacement for my Toshiba, and initial it seemed to be just fine. But after using the battery for a while it does not hold a charge very well. I charge the battery to it's fullest, but it seems to drain very quickly. Like JustMe said, I almost always have to have the laptop plugged into AC in order to use it for more than 5 minutes. I'd suggest looking for a better replacement battery that will actually hold a charge for more than a few minutes.

Thanks for the reply! I also frequent notebookreview.com....I received my UL30A-A2 today, though, and will put it through the battery test hoops over the next couple of days. Even if it is not the advertised 16 hours 12 hours is still absolutely excellent imo!

I have both and really like the 1000HE(belongs to my wife). I got the Toshiba today and I love it. You really can't go wrong with either one. I do like the finish on the Toshiba.

My machine is L505-S6946. The battery listed as PA3534U-1BRS is the perfect match for my unit. It is also the part number listed on the original battery. You should be ordering the exact part number on the original battery or a replacement unit cross referenced by Toshiba. Thanks.

RE: FriedhoffJust a friendly reminder: HD level performance w/ GN40 means battery life will drop. Likely a lot. Link above shows current set up consumes 8W whereas GN40 setup consumes 14W... That *roughly* translates to only 40% drop in battery life, so 9 hours would become 5 hours!

I'm not sure what you might find to be the difference. However, I do know that my 4400 mAh still lasts me over 5 hours of intense use, and I've been using it daily for almost nine months I believe. Either way I don't think you can go wrong!
