When I'm at home, I'm usually plugged in while using. That includes at my desk, where I have the SP3 hooked to two 24" monitors, so I have a three screen experience. Anywhere else, unless I plan on using it a LOT throughout the day, I leave the charger at home. If I think I may use it enough to get low, I grab the charger, as I am one of those people who is really paranoid about batteries - At work, the shelf that I built that holds two 22" monitors has a wireless charger built into it, and my phone sits on it unless I'm away from my desk. In the car, I've built a phone holder that has a wireless charger in it, and even if I'm driving a mile to the store, there's a good chance the phone is in it. So you get an idea how I am.... :wink:
