For the new macbook it is 10 hours[1], the same for the macbook air 13'[2]. I'm aware not all reviews is equal, so pointing out errors or adding better resources would be appreciated.

I get 9-10 hours on Linux with the UX305FA model (pre-Skylake fanless CoreM, i.e. MBA competitor). Not sure about the UX305LA model (i5/i7, i.e. MBP competitor).
