Is it possible to remove battery and leave plugged in? I would like to hook up external monitor, keyboard, mouse at home.

this is a super-thin laptop, solid state hard drive. no removable battery. you can certainly hook up a mouse and a keyboard via usb. And it does have HDMI out, so you should be able to hook up to any big screen or digital monitor. Beware, the built-in keyboard is flimsy and malfunctions a lot. Screen quality is very good

No you cannot remove the battery, you would have to disassemble the laptop to do so. Also this laptop only has 1 HDMI output and 2 USB ports so it would probably not be a good choice for this use.

Unfortunately no. It's not a dock able laptop, also the battery is internal and completely closed in so removing it isn't an option

No, don't leave it plugged in. It will drain the battery. The green light is cool but it drains the battery slowly but surely.

The mouse and keyboard combo: Comes with a standard usb that connects to the computer. The mouse has the on off switch to save battery life. To my knowledge I have not found a usb port on the keyboard itself to power external devices.

You could, but id does run an LED display and a fan. So it will drain you battery eventually without some kind of charger on it.

Yes, this needs to be left in the USB slot. Woks best if you plug it into the back of a desktop or into the back of a docking station...not so obvious that way.

The unit comes with a power adapter but you don't need to use it. I have a ext HD, wireless mouse/ keyboard combo controller and my UPS USB cable hooked up to it without the power adapter plugged in.

Yes you can run 2 keyboards, mice and other items without it switching those...it will only switch what you hook up.

I just leave it in the unit and turn the mouse off on the back, there is an on/off button that saves on the battery.

Yes you can. How do you intend to follow you mouse and use your keyboard without a computer monitor?

if you mean the tiny USB item that comes with the mouse, no. It goes into your computer, in the back with the other USB plugs. It takes 2 AA batteries, and mine last quite long compared to people using other wireless mice here at work. AND I never turn the mouse off, either! It's great on battery usage, very low.

No. the charging terminals are located on the mouse. You could charge it up and take it as a spare. My new battery will last for hours on a charge.

You can use the same cable for the mouse. I have an extra cable plugged into my computer just in case I need to recharge both the mouse and keyboard at the same time. For as inexpensive as they are, it is worth buying an extra cable.

Yes, just plug it into the computer via the USB cable. You'll see a little battery symbol with three bars in it on the LCD once it's fully charged.

Yes, you'd have to remove the monitor and keyboard. This annoyed me enough that I just started using a laptop at work. That's a much easier transition.

Yes, it can be plugged in directly without removing the battery. It has 2 ports, mini-USB and hdmi.

You can disconnect the battery to turn it off. To charge the battery, connect it to an USB port (with the USB cable provided )

Certainly, you just turn off the wireless mouse with the power button on the bottom of the mouse. Then plug in any other mouse that you want into the computer.
