Bug Description

I installed Freya (final) on 6 laptops now that used to have Luna installed.

Battery life consistently was reduced on all of them, my personal laptop (Samsung Series 9) saw a reduction with 40 % compared to Luna.

2 of the others are custom builds (core i5) and 2 are Dell Lattitude D620/630

The only common characteristic is an Intel stack up to the graphics card.

This seems to be reported a lot by elementary users, mostly suggesting TLP to make it workable, but as Luna did not have TLP some other change must cause this new behavior.
