I've been running a T420s with LMDE for 4 months now, and the one issue that's been bugging me is battery life. Boot up the windows partition: 6.5 hours. Linux partition: 1.5 hours.

That's weird. Can you run a power metering tool to find out what is using so much energy? What the GPU it uses?

I'd love to try that. You mean a hardware metering tool?

Try to run "powertop".
