You may have to care about power management, SystemBIOS reflashing and the lid etc. or those features may not work depending on how they did the hardware design. Like I have said before there is really no standard for this.
Power management and lid close detection is a matter of someone
implementing the needed ACPI tables for that. ACPI support is basically implemented in LinuxBIOS but each system type needs it's
specific set of tables for ACPI to do any good.
That's if they got ACPI right in their hardware design. Laptop hardware designers use the keyboard micro to solve lots of issues since these micros have lots of GPIO pins along with timers and other function blocks that are easily programmed.
