Battery life depends a lot on which laptop you buy. With an old Elitebook Revolve with an Intel 5200U and a new Envy X360 with an AMD 4700U the battery life on Linux is about the same when compared to reviews on Windows. Especially the Envy has some issues with running Linux, but battery life isn't one of them.

Interesting - i haven't heard about the battery life performance of the new AMD chips and linux. I might have a go after all!
