    Has anyone done any tests on whether the power management driver for boot camp actually work or is it fake?

    E.g. swtich the power profile form "power saver" to "performance" and record the difference in battery run time.

    a little update, putting something to elevate the back of your notebook reduce the temperature by almost 10C(60-50)

    still a little hot imo, but at least it isn't uncomfortable to touch.
