 I think that ACPI permits the listing and the setup of ACPI aware
 devices on your laptop, for example the graphic card, the wired
 ethernet card and the wifi card.  When such devices can work in
 different power modes, you can lower your power consumption via ACPI
 requests to the devices.  Besides, ACPI permits finer things than APM
 in respect to shutdown/sleep/hibernate, but I think one can be
 perfectly happy wuth sole APM support!
