Is it safe to leave your laptop plugged in all the time?

In terms of physical security, leaving your laptop plugged in all the time is secure. Almost nothing is in danger of catching fire. Even

with the charger connected, modern laptops include built-in voltage regulation that senses when the battery is full and shuts

off the charge. Laptops are equipped with safety devices that will cut the connection before any actual damage is done, and these

mechanisms seldom malfunction. There's almost no chance of anything catching fire. All of that, meanwhile, is presuming that

both the charger and the electrical outlet it is attached to are in excellent operating condition. Not just laptops that

are charging can catch fire due to a short in an outlet. Having saying that, remember to always check your outlets.
