Hi!

I just got a new MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2021). I would like my battery to last as long as possible. I use the computer at home with an external monitor as well as outside while traveling.

How should I charge when at home working on the computer during a regular work day?

I am aware that the machine tracks my "charging patterns" and will optimize accordingly, but I am skeptical of this.

Or, if there a public document available on how to do this, I would be happy to read it. This should exist as it is a common question but I haven't a standard answer from Apple,

Thank you very much!

If you are near the mains leave it plugged in, if you need the portability then run on battery only.
