Using this image is by far, the the most success I've had with my new XPS 9560. (in terms of power usage) So, **thanks heaps**!\r\n\r\nMy Specs:\r\ni7, 32gb ram, 1tb ssd, 4k display, 97Wh battery\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, however, my idle power usage still seems to be at least ~30% higher than it should be. I have a single terminal open running `sudo powertop` and the firefox tab open so I can write this. (although firefox makes little difference) Powertop is showing about 10-12w idle power consumption. It spikes up to 15w quite often. This estimates about 6-7 hours of battery remaining. Now, I'm mostly happy with this, but a lot of forums suggest this laptop should be able to get down to 5-6w when idle.\r\n\r\nConsidering this is a 4k screen, and completely maxed out, I'm not sure if 10-12w is what I should be expecting or if I'm being unrealistic here. What idle power consumption are other people seeing, and what specs do you have?\r\n\r\np.s. I've played around with kernel parameters and they don't seem to make any noticeable difference. I currently have `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=\"quiet splash i915.modeset=1 nouveau.modeset=0\"`"}}
