On the 3810 thread at the forums someone mentioned that .31-12 and later kernel
upgrades caused his battery life to go from 6.5 to 3.5 hours. I know that for
me, the battery life was the key reason that I got this 3810T. I do not
currently have Ubuntu installed because, as much as I would love to, I cannot
run it if doing so reduces my battery life by 60%. I get 8+ hours under Vista.
Now I am fully aware that Linux is not yet capable of enjoying the full battery
life that Vista was able to get, as many of the hacks that the manufacturers
engaged are windows centric.
Did those of you testing Karmic since the beginning experience this drop in
battery life? If so, would it be possible for someone with a live CD from an
earlier alpha to do a powertop comparison to see where the extra power is
going? If we can track down the culprit, maybe we can get a fix included in
the next kernel and I can cleanse this system of windows for good!
Thanks
