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

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

22 Good luck,
