Does a notebook connects to power supply?

[lashley]

Hi,

Can I use a notebook just like a normal pc connected with wire to power supply - or it only works wireless with battery?

This is notebook I want:

Of course, even the battery charging would need the power supply. :)

Have a good day,

You can use it like a normal PC connected with wire to power supply, like I'm doing right now, and you could also use it in your car, if you have an adaptor. By the way, you always have to attach it to the power in order to charge it. ;)

Just remember the batteries won't work forever, therefore it's better if you keep the laptop always connected to the power line and use it on batteries just when you really need it.

Not completely true. The lithium-ion cells that are used in laptop batteries will degrade if they are always fully charged. So if 99% of the time you use your laptop plugged in, it is better to remove the battery otherwise when you do use the battery it won't last nearly as long as it used to.

I thought that was only true for older batteries? To my knowledge, newer laptops have a cut-off so you can't completely charge the cells.
