You need minimal effort to get these right. Powertop suggested configuration gets my X61t to 6h battery life, whereas windows gets slightly more (about 30min).

Really, at least with thinkpads, the just works excuse is just that: an excuse.
Looking forward to my X1 Carbon, already in the mail :-)
- JetSetWilly 13y agoUnfortunately I bought into this "thinkpads just work with linux" hype and got a thinkpad - only to discover that the wifi frequently craps out because linux doesn't support well whatever intel wifi thing it comes with, and of late hibernate/suspend is broken too. It really doesn't seem like linux will ever change.
