Sorry for the noise.... decided to try quickly over lunch on my T430. With 6.6 I was seeing a power draw of ~15W sitting at an idle GUI session. Fan runs slowly, but constantly. With 6.5 I see a power draw of ~10.5W sitting at an idle GUI session. Fan does not run. The 6.5 figure compares fairly well to ~8W on Linux with everything powertop can tune there. Going to stay at 6.5 for a while on this machine given the above... but I have 2 drives in this laptop, so I can relatively easily try things out on 6.6 if there are any pointers to try, or useful diagnostic information I can obtain.
