There are two schools of thought but my tech support from Gateway said turn it off if you are gone 2 hours or more. I don't do that. I set it to hibernate at 2 hours. (In Control Panel, Power Options). However, as to lithium batteries they can 't be ruined by overcharging. I leave my computer plugged in several days at a time.

It's good to cycle the battery every week or so--let it run down to below 5% power, then recharge it. It'll make it last longer.
I agree with the above poster; I leave mine on, on AC, but set it to hibernate.

the answer is NO; NO; NO! I don't know what you want to say by "life span" of batteries but most of them last about three to four hours for each recharge. check your manual to learn more about your battery's life. And it's OK to leave your laptop connected to AC.

very nicely so for what your asking the respond is sure it has a instant adapter equipped in which will assist you p.c.. up instant indicators. regardless of the shown fact that, understand the version between a DSL line and a instant community. you may get right of entry to the internet by way of your instant adapter once you have an ethernet cable out of your dsl modem right into a instant router which sends out the instant sign which you p.c.. up on your computing device. yet sure, once you notice people using instant networks or indicators saying wireless get right of entry to you may have the potential to apply their instant centers along with your computing device you published.
