  • I don’t have a Lenovo, but a Dell Latitude that i use like a desktop, mostly plugged in next to my couch. In the bios you can set it to optimize the battery and charging for ‘primarily AC usage’, as well as set a percentage to limit charging, I think I have it set to 85%, I would assume you can do the same on a Lenovo.

    I wouldn’t worry too much about it past that, if leaving it plugged in all the time is convenient, just do that. You could also probably buy a new battery on eBay and replace it if your battery is actually shot and you want better life.



  • My favorite story about best buy is in the early 2000’s, a family member gifted me a $20 gift card to best buy, which unbeknownst to them, I had stopped shopping at because it got too expensive and I started buying from newegg instead. Anyway, I walk in and am thinking 'well I don’t really need anything big right now, like a full PC, laptop, etc. Maybe I’ll just get a DVD or something."

    Even with a $20 gift card, Best buy prices were so marked up, they were either still more expensive, or the same price as other stores. I think other stores were selling DVD’s at like $15 (not new-releases) and best buy was $35. I walked out and never ended up buying anything. I’m shocked they’re still around to be honest.
