Hey guys, I am sure I am not the only one having this problem....Unfortunately, I feel like this is more "as designed" than a "bug" or something I can fix. Basically, I have a triple booted laptop (rEFit) and get the below battery lives under each respective OS;
-OS X = 6-7 hours
-Windows 7 = 4-5 hours
-Ubuntu 12.04 = 2-3 hours
This is all with a 2012 Core i5 Macbook Pro and light internet/email browsing via Wifi. Why such the discrepancies if the hardware (including the battery) are the same? Is OS X really that much more optimized in regards to battery life than Ubuntu?? It basically means I never use Ubuntu while on the go, only OS X for optimal power efficiency
