Installation was easy and everything works great except the sound card. However, I have just recently found out that when I am running Linux the energy was drained very fast. I lost nearly 10% in less than 5 minutes. This is nearly as much as watching DVD in Windows. I think it could be because PowerNow! technology is not working correctly in Linux so the CPU does not slow down -> high energy consumption. Please help ^_^
