LUKS Battery Life
I'm just wondering if anyone has some solid stats on the performance/battery hit from setting up LUKS on a laptop? Picked up an HP Spectre, and I'm getting about 10 hours web browsing and up to 20 with light use. Most of my activity is not disk heavy, so I'm wondering if I'll see much of a battery hit.
Thanks guys!

Re: LUKS Battery Life
If the CPU has AES instruction set there shouldn't be any noticable performance hit

This. I use LUKS on all my machines, currently writing from an x230 with full encryption. Battery feels the same, still got 5 solid hours.
