I've been using Thinkpads since 1998, but early this year, switched to
Dell Latitude E6540 from a Lenovo Thinkpad W500.

Will never go back to a Thinkpad! Build quality and post-sales support
has just been going down the drain, year after year.

Anyway, I can go a max of 8 hours, according to the battery indicator
of my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Ubuntu's 14 LTS says it has better power
management, but I'm happy with my 12.04 LTS. Must admit however, I
have replaced the Seagate HDD with a Crucial MX550 SSD though, and
have disabled the AMD Radeon GPU too.
