Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I currently own a new Thinkpad (T61) and I'm happy with it and all, but I just have a question about charging it.
Is it better to:
A. Leave the laptop charging continuously and run it off the power whenever possible
B. Run it off the battery and charge when needed
C. Charge it continuously but take it off when laptop is shutdown
D. None of the above/does not matter.
I hope I phrased them correctly. I'm just worried that if I always keep it charged, it may affect battery power somehow. Or that if I use it and charge it when needed often, it may affect the battery.
To give you further info as to how I use the laptop: Laptop is always in the dorm. I don't take them to classes. I'm usually using the maximum power saving option when running of battery.
