Half the battery life compared to windows7
Asked by
Michael Mayr
A few days ago I installed ubuntu 12.04 on my "new" laptop.
I turned off the 2nd graphic card (via vgaswitcheroo) because of the overheating bug.
Now everything works fine... but in ubuntu the battery life is just 3h and in windows7 its up to 6-7h.
Is that normal? I thought ubuntu would need less energy than windows.
