    Hey,
    I just got my e1505 yesterday. So far, its great, but i have a question. Is it bad to leave the laptop plugged in all of the time? I know that it can be detrimental to certain batteries when they are plugged into the ac all of the time, but what about my laptop? Thanks.

    No, that should not affect your laptop. It will affect the battery though. Every once in a while make sure to drain your battery to about 30%, I would say every 2 weeks should be good. As to not create a flash memory. :p

    It shouldn't be a problem to have your laptop plugged in all the time. The batteries have a safety shut off switch that stops the charging once your battery is full.
