2011-10-17 09:57:53 Laurent Dinclaux description The laptop runs very well, but, compared to when it runs windows, the fan is always at full speed, the laptop gets hot, and battery life is only the half. grep rate /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state is not less than 17000mW (nvidia card off) grep rate /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state is not less than 22000mW (nvidia card on) Those values were collected doing a simple task: writing this bug report under chrome. No other app is running. A note: ASUS U31SD users on Ubuntu forums are reporting much lower value (at least 5000mW less), they also repported that 11.10 release, increased that consumption that used to be 8000mW on 10.04 (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11354101&postcount=17) It is very annoying, in fact that issue made me use windows, a thing I haven't done for years ...
