Safety regulations require fail-safe circuitry to prevent overcharge.

info appreciated .... are they safe to charge overnight

having seen/ read so many accounts of fires started by overheating batteries, I'm happy to hear this .... info appreciated

My Carol keeps hers plugged in all the time...never had a problem.

at one time the word was leaving batteries on charge all the time shortened their life but that was well before the current generation of Lithium batteries .... don't know if it still applies or not

Carol's is a Toshiba, about 5 years old. Touch screen and lit keyboard. 5 way orientation. Has been a good one. Has never failed us or been short of battery life.

I had a Toshiba laptop a good number of years ago and it proved to be a good computer

That stills applies to NiCAD and NiMH batteries. Not Li-Ion.

actually, its very quiet .. .. my last one had a mechanical hard drive that gave off a very slight vibration when spinning .... the hard drive in this one is supposed to be solid state .... the biggest thing I've noticed so far is its heavier and physically feels like it has a much stronger case .... after a few more days of use, I plan to post a list of positives and negatives .... as of right now the positives are a much longer list
