I have no idea, that's why I was hoping someone would test it for me :)

Actually, I just looked at my rpm -qa and yum list available.  Where did 
laptop mode go? (I did grep -i laptop)

If fedora already does remount with noatime by default on laptops in 
some fashion, that would seem to be a pretty strong argument in favor of 
making it default all the time, given any significant performance 
benefit.  (and the fact that I haven't heard any convincing use-case of 
it that doesn't have a better workaround).
