I wish that Linux was easier on batteries. In win 7 both my daughter's batteries lasted around 3 hours. One installed Ubuntu 11.04 and the battery dropped to 70 minutes, the other installed 12.04 and battery lasts about 48 minutes. Is that the with the default install, or after you optimized it?
If the former, would you like to discuss techniques to reduce power consumption? _______________________________________________
Yes with default install, I know nothing about optimising but would be pleased to learn, thanks. Techniques to reduce power would be most helpful but we must also consider that one daughter does 3D modelling in Blender and the other manipulates large .raw images. thanks in advance Roger
