How does the battery life compare between OSX and Linux? When I last ran Linux on Mac hardware (several years ago), it was a pretty disappointingly large gap.

- hrkristian 13y agoDoesn't surprise me at all, it's one of the main selling points for Apple. It's fine on my laptop (Arch Linux), same as in Windows, but with an i7, GTX 660M and no optimus, and a 15.6" screen there's not much power to save.
