Power Management is a general big issue in Linux on Laptops. I have also made the experience that Windows achives vastly better battery run times than any Linux I have ever encountered, even if powertop doesn't have anything to complain. Alas, I don't have the slightest idea why, maybe somebody can shed a light on that.
