Any idea what battery life might look like on the Linux version? Really hoping it can get near the 10+ hours of the Windows version.

- chambo622 12y agoThere will probably be some hit, but probably not terrible. I have the Ivy Bridge version; I probably get 4 hours running Ubuntu and perhaps just under 5 with Windows; this is not scientific though. I really should measure it.
- wldlyinaccurate 12y agoI have the 2014 XPS developer edition and can get 10 hours with modest screen brightness. I get even more if I use a minimal WM like i3. I find the two things that can really eat up the battery are screen brightness and having a poor Wi-Fi connection.
- mdellabitta 12y agoTry running Powertop and check out the tunables pane. You might even be able to reap some additional battery life.
