I'm a new Mac user, having purchased an M1 Macbook Air 12/23, after 35 years as a Windows user. Previously, with my Windows laptops, if I've left them plugged in constantly, I would see battery degradation over time.
Since I mainly bought the Macbook Air as a desktop replacement, for now, I want to know if I should be concerned leaving it plugged into power all the time?
I plan on traveling quite a bit in 2021, which is why I went with the portability of the Macbook Air, but since I won't be traveling until later in the year, I wanted to ask opinions.
What I have been doing since I purchase it is letting it charge to 100%, then unplugging it and letting it run the battery down during normal usage during the day. I don't leave it plugged in at night, but plug it in again in the morning and let it charge.
I always shut down at the end of the day as well.
Thank you for any guidance.
Mike.
