Hello guys,

I bought a laptop and i got like 4 hours of batter life, everything ok,
(using more than 1 vm, etc), however now in idle my laptop has only 1
hour of life, which is really annoying because its a brand new laptop
bought one year before.

Here is my upower -d in case its necessary:

This energy-rate seems very high. I have an old Asus laptop. energy-full
for me is around 60Wh. energy-rate, sitting idle, is around 5Wh. I
typically get 6-8 hours on battery with normal usage.

I'd suggest looking carefully into whether something is more active than
it needs to be. You can also invoke energy saving levels if you're using a prepackaged environment like Kubuntu.

Good luck,
Mark

If the laptop is still within warranty, you might want to see what
support you can get from the maker.

Here is my upower -d in case its necessary:

If it’s an Intel laptop, check powertop. It will tell you all sorts of
causes for power usage, including interrupts, display, different chips,
their sleep states and so on. Also check whether your CPU can reach the
deepest C-state available. I’m not sure how much the tool helps on an AMD system, since I don’t have one yet.

Anecdote: when I bought my passively cooled mini-PC with an Intel N5100, it drew 10 W from the socket. I was a bit disappointed, because I knew it could
do less. Powertop told me that it remained at C3 and did not enter C6. I checked for a BIOS upgrade and – sure enough – there was one and the changelog said something about C states. After the upgrade, C6 was available and power draw decreased to 6..7 W.
