[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1895927, member: 83420"] Hi [USER=392524]@toka[/USER] and thank you for your post. No. Yes. The monosyllabic replies above are the short answer to a complex topic. Generally speaking, plug in power when you have heavy duty requirements on the MBA - photo or video editing or complex spreadsheets to compose and/or analyse; that sort of thing. Otherwise, you can use the Mac till battery falls to around 50-60%, then recharge. I should emphasise that battery usage and management is a complex subject and there are as many opinions as there are people willing to offer them.
