Power Management is a general big issue in Linux on Laptops. I have also
made the experience that Windows achives vastly better battery run times
than any Linux I have ever encountered, even if powertop doesn't have
anything to complain.

Alas, I don't have the slightest idea why, maybe somebody can shed a
light on that.
