Plug it in, let it charge, and then I set up Mac OS X, used Migration Assistant (from my Mac Mini) while it was still plugged in, and then let it discharge 'til forced sleep mode that same evening. That was a long 8 hours, about a week ago. I run it unplugged pretty much every time I use it, and then when I'm done using it for the day, I shut it down and plug it in. If I have to, I close the shell (which sleeps the computer) and don't plug it in. This will be my college laptop, so I'm kind of wondering...do college students with  notebooks  have to replace their battery sooner than someone who uses a MB/MBP at home or business?</p></blockquote><p></p>
