the netbook away as a gift.

Title:
  [Acer Aspire 1410 (2009 netbook)] Battery Life Significantly less than
  in Windows (and worse in Lucid than in 9.10)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: acpid

  My system is an Acer Aspire 1410 (2009 11.6" netbook, not the full
  sized laptop released in 2005) with a Core 2 Solo @ 1.4 ghz.

  Under Windows Vista or Windows 7, the battery life is roughly 6 hours
  when idling with screen at moderate bringness and wi-fi on.

  Under Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit, it is about 4 to 4.5 hours. Same conditions.

  Under Lucid (April 13th) 64-bit, it is about 3 to 3.5 hours. Same
  conditions. (Bug reported from this.)

  I have checked and made sure no process is using up any more than 1%
  CPU in the background with gnome-system-monitor.
