Is laptop-mode-tools still relevant on 13.04?

Question

Do they make some difference? I read in Ubuntu wiki that actually it has good power configuration management out of box.

No. pm-powersave now takes care of that functionality. The relevant files are:

/usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/laptop-mode
/usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/95hdparm-apm

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/raring/man8/pm-powersave.8.html

Also, see the comprehensive answer here: Is "laptop-mode-tools" still relevant for 12.04 and the 3.x kernels?

If you want further improvement to power consumption install TLP via its PPA from www.linrunner.de/tlp its far more effective and implements true power saving profile to your laptop.

I have it in different laptops from AMD to latest Haswell CPU and AMD netbooks and never faced an issue. Also tests have been done by quite a few sites that have testified to TLP's effectiveness regarding power savings.
