Asus Zenbook UX330C - Ubuntu 16.04 64bit / stock kernel / i3wm - No TLP or power tweaks or additional powertools - 88.97% remaining 8hr30mins - and that's pretty accurate.

I think you just have a bad SKU of a laptop if Linux gives you 1hr and Windows only 2.5hrs.

Down to 76% now, so pretty accurate. That with Chrome with several tabs, and a GPU/CPU heavy application called Slack/electron running.

Message to OP try 16.04.2 LTS (or a later version) and I think you'll find very different results with Asus laptops and Ubuntu.

That's actually amazing, lucky you! I'll give the new LTS version a go for sure as I still love ubuntu!
