Hi everyone.
I have an ASUS 456, i7 6500u (skylake) & Intel HD520 with High Sierra.
All the parts that should work are working, even things that "shouldn't" work like VGA.
The only thing still puzzling me is the short battery life. I read on Rehabman's guide that if I have Skylake then PM just works natively and I shouldn't do anything further. However my battery drains pretty quickly. As I write this, the % moved from 93 to 91. I know this happens a lot with non-Apple laptops since the batteries are nowhere as good, but is there something else I've missed to do? If so, what would the steps be for proper PM on this specific laptop?
(note: I also disabled the nvidia card from DSDT/SSDT).
The other question on the title. Which is the proper system definition for this model? I use MBP13,1 since it's also Skylake, but I found out 11,1 is slightly faster to boot. Although this might be important for proper PM so I included it on the same topic. Which would be your choice?
