Hi, On a 2013 Macbook Pro, Linux consumes 21W of power while OS X consumes just 9W. I found this very disturbing; Linux more than halves the battery life of the device. I checked to see that I wasn't running any especially power-hungry applications or drivers (using powertop). I'm using just one proprietary driver: the broadcom-wl wireless driver; otherwise, I'm running the stock 3.12 kernel from Arch's repositories.
How do I figure out what is consuming power, and what can I do to help minimize consumption? Thanks.
