  • It runs an AMD APU so you may try the AMD proprietary drivers. –  Sep 19 '17 at 16:34

  • @MichaelBay How I know if I am use AMD proprietary drivers – Marco Leslie Sep 19 '17 at 16:41
  • Simple, if you don't know you don't have them because it must be installed by the user. The default is radeon or amdgpu, both open source. –  Sep 19 '17 at 16:47

Just install TLP Power Management on your ubuntu. Like my laptop before installed TLP , the battery drain very fast. to install it, open your terminal and type :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linrunner/tlp

after that run this command :

sudo apt-get update

after update, install the TLP using this command :

sudo apt-get install tlp tlp-rdw

to start the TLP, run this command :

sudo tlp start

to show the status, run this command :

sudo tlp stat

hope it will work for you, because it works for me.
