    Leaving MBP plugged in - Good or Bad idea?

    Hello, I was just curious as to whether leaving my 2017 MBP plugged into the charger, while I'm at home is a good/bad idea. I know that nowadays, it is said to not affect the battery life as the laptop starts using AC charge instead of battery power, but I just wanted to know your...
