Well this is my first laptop and I want to make the battery last for as long as possible so I was wondering if I should continue using AC power after the battery reaches 100% or should I unplug it?
Got a tip for us?

Dont think it matters with the lithium-ion battery. But, if you prefer, you could always unplug the battery and run solely off AC.

You don't need to unplug at 100%. Just use the battery when you need to and keep it plugged in when you can.
You should also Calibrate Your Battery every 2 months.

As long as you don't mind the processor being crippled, sure, you can. But you need to leave the battery in if you want to run the machine at full power.
