I get 6-8 hours out of my Zenbook with ArchLinux. Nowhere near the touted 9 hours of the specs, or the 12+ of the Macbook.
My system is exceptionally lean. I run bspwm and the radios are always off except WiFi. Still, I feel like I could get a lot more from this laptop. I cannot (and I certainly wouldn't want to) install Windows on dual boot to make a comparison though.
What distribution do you use?

- polkadotted 8y agoHow can you compare two different laptops? I'm comparing windows and linux on the same laptop. I personally use debian unstable with a tiling window manager (awesomewm) without a specific DE. However, I generally setup Mint for all my colleagues on the same laptop lines, and there's one colleague running Arch. We all have very similar battery lifetimes.
