    Had the laptop for a couple of months, love it so far, but I am a bit concerned about the battery lifespan.

    • Typically I leave the laptop plugged in when not in use. Is it bad?
    • Most of the time I use the laptop plugged in to get the highest performance.
    • Now at full charge, the battery meter in Vista only shows 92% charge... Is this a cause for concern?
    • Am I supposed to do something to conditional the battery once in a while? How in Vista? Is there something in the BIOS to condition the battery?

    Thanks for any info you might have!
