Pretty good for me:
My battery life is around 10-12 hours (watching video drops to about 6-7 hours)
I did the following out of the box:
- Use the Intel graphics exclusively
- TLP
- Powertop adjustments
I also have the screen set at a low pretty brightness level as I find the 9550 screen pretty bright (too bright) at mid-high levels.
SPECS:
------------
Ubuntu 17.10
Dell 9550 XPS
i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz
non-4K screen (doing this will really save your battery)
16GB RAM
Intel® HD Graphics 530 + NVidia
512GB SSD
- serpix 9y agoThe new rMBP is about five hours if you don't touch it at all. under 4 hours if used for working. It is a step down from my previous 2012 model which is a damn shame.
- robin_reala 9y agoThere’s something wrong with your machine. I can squeeze a full days’ work out of it if I need to, and Apple claim up to 10 hours.
- ubu7737 9y ago> I can squeeze a full days’ work out of it if I need to No you can't. Do you think you can just lie openly about this? The only way to make this statement true is that you don't do any actual work on your laptop.
- acdha 9y agoDon’t accuse people of lying - it won’t improve the conversation and unless you think everyone has the same job there’s no point in the argument.
- robin_reala 9y agoSure I can. I generally have the screen turned down quite low regardless and if I know I’m going to be without power I’ll close unnecessary programs, but I can do a bunch of web development with Sublime and a browser going for a full 7-8 hours.
