About Lauren Bennett Expertise I am a computer science major and my dad is an Electric Engineering, so my life has revolved around computers. For as long as I can remember, I have been buying and selling computers. I tend to travel a lot, so I have always had a laptop. I have bought 5 of them for myself, and bought around 30-40 for friends and family. I have dealt with the good and the bad of various version and brand names. If you are in need of buying a laptop, feel free to contact me and I'm sure I will be able to guide you into purchasing the laptop that will be the best fit for you. I will custom build you computers for you to choose from so you can get an exact idea of what to go and buy when you do it yourself and so that you have an exact price. However, I am in the USA and am only knowledgeable about computers here in the US. I do not know about foreign currency or the quality of computer brand names outside the US.

Hi lauren,
will reeive my computer monday...at least that was what it says on-line and thru UPS. Is it any problem to leave the battery plugged in when i use most of the time?? Also, when not in use, with the laptop off, is it better for the battery to be plugged in attached to the laptop or leave unplugged...Never had a laptop, and i want to amke sure i do everything to get best life out of the battery...Thanks again for the terrific and patient support help!!

ANSWER: the more you can leave the battery plugged in the battery. the more the computer is running on battery power, the shorter the life of the battery. my old laptop i never transported and thus had it plugged in almost 24/7 and my battery lasted until I sold it and didn't lose much of the power. When the computer is off, it won't really make a difference if it is plugged in or not.
i hope you like this one as much as your son's -- i'm always around if you need me! :)

QUESTION: lol...did not understand, the more you can leave the battery plugged in the battery??? If i understand the end of the answer, the more is used it is better???? I mean when the computer is in use??? Thanks again!!

Answer what i meant to say...
leave it plugged in as much as possible. running on AC power will keep the battery in best condition. running on battery power is fine, but over time the charge won't hold as long. when it is turned off, it doesn't matter either way :)
