In the Windows prompt (admin mode) you can use the following command to monitor (it will generate a HTML file) energy usage (for 60 seconds): powercfg –ENERGY I can see some problems on my own system. For example "USB Suspend:USB Device not Entering Suspend" Maybe misconfigurations like these are also causing more power consumption than needed.

That reminds me, on Ubuntu you can install powertop and run it "sudo powertop". It's a handy tool to be sure.

The correct syntax is: powercfg /ENERGY

  Both work. powercfg /? shows -ENERGY

    Not sure if that applies all over the line. On my win8 install only /energy works.
