What about power consumption? I used to run Ubuntu on my MBP2010, but was forced to return to MacOSX, since power consumption was ridiculously high.
While completely idle (booted, logged in, no apps running), measured at wall socket (with a kill-a-watt):
- Ubuntu fresh install: 25W;
- Ubuntu with Nvidia disabled and all possible "powertop" tuning applied: 15W;
- MacOSX: 8W.
Playing 1080p video (either youtube/html5 or from a local h264 mkv file) is also the same - MacOSX draws 1/3...1/2 of power that Ubuntu does.
