Yes, but that's only you.  What Matthew is saying is that there is
only one package that is specific to laptops only; the others are
specific to general (e.g.) hardware, which you don't seem to have.  If
Ubuntu didn't have this support and you had this hardware, you'd be
mentioning something quite different about the system services. :)
