    Hi, I got this laptop and I use it at home, but sometimes, I bring it to another room because the seat is more comfortable.

    So should I carry the adapter with me everytime I need to move or should I use the laptop's battery?

    If I use the laptops battery, is it going to affect the duration of my laptops battery?? You guys know what i mean?

    So should I use the adapter or the battery ... because sometimes im lazy bringing the cable and attach it,etc. Is it worth bringing the adapter each time ?



    THanks

    If you never use the battery - what's the point? You're looking at a $100 part that's there to be used.

    I'd say if you're going to be using it all day - but buy an extra adapter for work or something..... use the battery inbetween.

    I'm not using my laptop all day.

    I am maybe using it around 2 hours max per day to watch movie in the sofa of a comfortable place instead of my desk.

    Use your battery... that system, even maxed out could probably get 3 hours of life at a minimum..... make use of your "laptop" ..... drop the wires man.
