Sounds fantabulous... Wonder if it actually does what it says it does... Anyone have experience with this kind of utility?

I'd say it is utter rubbish.

Ye cannay change the laws of physics - a battery has a certain profile, no amount of software is going to change that. Yes, it probably switches everything in your laptop to ultra-low power mode, but at what cost? Does the laptop end up running like an old 486?
