How to reduce power consumption on laptop when running Ubuntu

4

I am having Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop.

The battery doesn't last as long as it does when on Windows.

Any thing we can do to improve it ?

Its a Lenovo Y410 notebook with core 2 duo processor and 2 GB of RAM

What laptop is this? Ubuntu may not have the right ACPI drivers, which means that it can't help the computer manage power. – digitxp – 2011-09-23T10:21:06.617

While slightly outdated, the Gentoo Power Management Guide is a good resource.
