Hello

Since I will be using my new macbook pro, that hopefully will arrive in the new future (as I'm waiting for the new ones), only on my desk during the week I was wondering if I could leave it plugged in into the wall socket?

I have heard some laptops do work directly on the power from the wall socket rather than using the battery. Thereby I want to save recharging cycles.

Will this damage the battery and is it recommended to just use it on battery? Or is it fine to keep it plugged in without damaging the battery?
