I am duel booting ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 8 on my asus ROG-G501VW

Fantastic laptop with some amazing specs. The price was just right. https://www.asus.com/ROG-Republic-Of-Gamers/ROG-G501VW/

The only problem I have with it is the battery life. I am using this for around 5 months now, and the battery life when running Ubuntu is 2-3 hours only. I installed ubuntu on the ssd and windows on the hdd.

I can play almost any game on this one (of course not many on ultra).

Looks nice but no way can I live with that battery life.
