With my MacBook and Dell Laptop, I have been able to use a power manager (in the case of the Dell) or scripts (in the case of the MacBook) to limit the charge level to 80%. It is my undertstanding that keeping a Li-Ion battery at 100% constantly is Not A Good Thing - which laptops plugged in over the course of a working day would almost certainly produce. This effect I think is more significant than charging to 100% and then switching to battery power immediately (to reduce the time spent at 100% to an absolute minimum) - which is what Apple offer with their iPhone optimised charging. That they do this does confirm that not doing something to limit the time spent at 100% is detrimental.
