How much work did you have to put into configuring TLP to get it to work? How many different settings before you got it where it was comparable to Windows, or did you just install it and it just worked? Because that's how it works on my Macboook, it just worked. I didn't have to read TLP docs. This is what I'm talking about, Linux is a hobby, it's not something you get that just works. This is just battery life. Bluetooth worked for you, it doesn't for others. Every little thing can be a painful can of worms. Go through the comments here and just see the variety of responses. Avoid nvidia, 802.11ac chipset problems, bluetooth problems, editing pulseaudio settings.

It doesn't "just work." A Macbook Pro, you turn it on, it "just works." Linux, is not like this.
