You might want to take a look at TLP[0]. It, among other things, backs the power mode/profile panels in Gnome/KDE.

Many distros already try to push good defaults, but you can do a whole lot when optimizing for a mobile experience. You can also do some fun stuff with it, like running a script[1] when going from ac->bat power to, e.g., turn of a service, lower refresh rate or reduce brightness.
