As long as you don't run the laptop's battery to zero, you don't really need anything like that. Windows 8.1 and Intel's latest CPU/GPU/chipsets/drivers are very, very good at power management so long as the manufacturer doesn't do anything stupid.
Standby time on mine in sleep (not hibernate) is supposedly 250 days.
