HI all.

Finally changed my old laptop and I've been wondering if I should be using an app like Al Dente or batt to preserve it's battery cycles. Anyone have personal experiences with one or the other that they care to comment on?

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply ! My last unit lasted 9 years so that counts but looking at feedback from recent models it looks like a lot of progress has been made already so I'm not sure if it's worth it to worry that much
