Hi,

Just got my first laptop and I'm wondering how to look after the battery.

The first thing I noticed is that it runs down pretty fast.

Is it like a mobile phone battery where you leave it run out and then fully charge?
and is it bad for the battery to have it plugged in when fully charged?

theres an option to improve performance which worsens battery life so obviously you need to have the battery plugged in to use this or it runs out too fast.

any advice on better battery usage management much appreciated in advance, thanks!
