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?
