Power cord - which end to pull

I've a Toshiba laptop and here's my question. Let's say I've got it plugged in to AC current (wall socket). When fully charged, does it really matter which end of the cord I pull out first, i.e. from the wall socket or from the laptop. And vice versa, i.e. when I plug it in to charge it.
Your responses will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

It doesn't really matter. Usually everyone pulls the laptop end out first and then maybe the AC if they are going to move the charger around.

Thank you Jstn7477 for your help. Much appreciated.

 

I prefer...

...When plugging in, plug into the wall outlet first, then the laptop.

...When unplugging, unplug the laptop first, then the wall adapter.

I don't know if it really matters, but that seems like a safe choice. At my old house when plugging into the wall I would often see a spark come out of it. So I figured it's best to not have my laptop plugged in while it sparks .

 

My x205 has a huge power brick.....I leave it plugged into the PC, and unplug it from the wall only. I unplug my PC overnight to conserve power, as I rarely take it on the road.

 

I don't think I've unplugged the powercord from the wall maybe once in the year plus that I've had this laptop. I've left the laptop plugged in over a month at a time. I hadn't thought it would matter till lately I think someone said it should not be left plugged in at long periods of time, perchance the laptop should burst into a ball of flames.

In your opinion(s) does it matter?

 

I just know that power bricks (even small ones like cell phone chargers) use power when plugged in, even if a device isn't attached, so I've gotten into the habit of unplugging them when not in use. It all adds up, and i'm trying to conserve where I can.

 

I wasn't aware these power devices used power when i.e. a laptop etc is not connected to them.
My question was and is though, does it hurt them. Obviously not from what I understand so far. I've had mine plugged in for over a year and nothing has exploded yet - at least to my knowledge it hasn't.
Anyone else with advice on this is also welcomed to come in on this thread. If perchance no one sees these postings, could you please inform us immediately. Thanks!

 

+1. This is the way I do it, as well.

 

Actually, if the plug is pulled from the power outlet, is it really necessary to pull the plug from the laptop? In my case, it very seldom is moved off the desk, so if the powercord is disconnected from the surgebar, it isn't going to hurt anything if the cord is still in the laptop, correct?

 

No Ripsnort ... I don't believe this will hurt anything. In other words, you are correct!!!
I'm totally amazed at the amount of responses you've gotten from this thread. Kowabunga!!!

 

I promise that you won't kill your laptop if you disconnect the plug from any of the three points where disconnections are possible

Thank you Jstn7477 for the promise and reassurance. This laptop will sleep better next time it hibernates!
