While I don't have any experience with the Compaq, we do our best with
regard to power management and such.  However, I've had a hard time
debugging the APM support since it work on my machine and the
beta-testers have had a difficult time getting useful information from
the crashes and/or they've been using older/buggier versions of the
code.
