AFAIK, this problem is common to all laptops because Dell, Toshiba, IBM,
Compaq, and the rest seem make quite good power management drivers for
windows, but not for Linux.

Seems like a reasonable idea, but my experience has been exactly the opposite. On a Toshiba Portégé 7200CTe, and on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4260DVD, over the course of a few months battery life in Windows (even with all possible drivers loaded and updated and optimized) dwindled down to about 20 minutes, while Linux got the expected 1.8 to 2.0 hours out of them.


Odd, this.
