    Thats ignorant and you should be excused. Thats just shows how shallow you are. So making a comparision about this and to a laptop seem right to you ??

    **** .... its people like you who have no feelings and are making the world a bad place.

    Sorry, I have no tips for you after seeing this.

    You can lower the screen brightness either in the BIOS, or by holding the Fn button (bottom left) and adjusting the brightness with the up/down arrow keys.

    First of all, what do you mean by best way to charge it? There's only one way I know of. Keeping the AC in all the time will not hurt anything. Once the battery is full it will not take anymore charge and it shouldn't hurt it to be plugged in all the time (mine is plugged in 85% of the time).
