It will tell you all sorts of causes for power usage, including interrupts, display, different chips, their sleep states and so on. Also check whether your CPU can reach the deepest C-state available. I’m not sure how much the tool helps on an AMD system, since I don’t have one yet. Anecdote: when I bought my passively cooled mini-PC with an Intel N5100, it drew 10 W from the socket. I was a bit disappointed, because I knew it could do less. Powertop told me that it remained at C3 and did not enter C6. I checked for a BIOS upgrade and – sure enough – there was one and the changelog said something about C states. After the upgrade, C6 was available and power draw decreased to 6..7 W. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.

If the laptop is still within warranty, you might want to see what support you can get from the maker.

Re: [gentoo-user] Full battery laptop only 1 hour
I would recommend attempting to minimize CPU usage (as CPU usage usually computes to power usage) You should also check your GPU, as if you have 2 (a non-graphics intense and a graphics intense), then the graphics intense one would likely draw more power. With your story, its likely a usage thing, with the parts not a problem. Though, just in case, I would check out the parts in your laptop, seeing what might be some high-powered parts if you can't get CPU usage lowered. > On Sep 12, 2022, at 11:10 AM, Guillermo García > wrote: > > Hello guys, > > I bought a laptop and i got like 4 hours of batter life, everything ok, > (using more than 1 vm, etc), however now in idle my laptop has only 1 hour of > life, which is really annoying because its a brand new laptop bought one year > before. > > Here is my upower -d in case its necessary: [...] > > I hope someone can help me, i don't like to plug my pc into the power but i > need to do it in order to follow my class. > >

I have an old Asus laptop. energy-full for me is around 60Wh. energy-rate, sitting idle, is around 5Wh. I typically get 6-8 hours on battery with normal usage. I'd suggest looking carefully into whether something is more active than it needs to be. You can also invoke energy saving levels if you're using a prepackaged environment like Kubuntu. Good luck, Mark

Hello guys, I bought a laptop and i got like 4 hours of batter life, everything ok, (using more than 1 vm, etc), however now in idle my laptop has only 1 hour of life, which is really annoying because its a brand new laptop bought one year before.
