Comment 118 for bug 1602888

Minas,

Idle power consumption seems a little higher than Windows 10. After idling for 5 minutes on a full charge, the laptop reports temperatures < 50 degrees celsius, and a projected battery life of 3 hours and 25 minutes w/screen brightness of about 70%. This seems a little low, but not unreasonable.

Admittedly, I don't pay attention much to my battery life on Windows 10, but I can perform a similar test later this weekend for something to compare to.

At idle, powertop reports (under Package):
C2 - ~20%
C7 - ~40%

All others at 0.

In conclusion, power consumption seems normal at idle.
