On my laptop I normally have no backlight or the brightness set to 0, sometimes I crank it up only a little bit. I probably wouldn't even be using it to full-load, just office applications (most likely OpenOffice) and web-browsing, like all netbooks are for =D
Indeed, 6-cell books do have longer battery life, but then again the life it has goes up and down from netbook to netbook. It's hard to tell. Perhaps I should fork over the extra cash for the NC10?
