Is there a GUI I can get for it, or is it new user friendly in its standard form?

It's very simple.

What to do with the data is another question. :)

Oh I thought there would be a "save electricity, computer" button. lol. I guess it's not that easy?

It does give you a few such buttons (at least some version did.)

You can try TLP instead of PowerTop. It's supposed to be better http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/tlp.html
