How do you guys use your 5720/7720 ? Do you keep it plugged in all the time ?
How to take care of its battery since I'm plugged in all the time ? Is the battery charging disabled while 100% charged ?
Kindly advice what to do ?
I use my 7720 primarily for gaming , watching movies and surfing . What should be my style of using it ? Should i keep it plugged it all the time ? Or should i disconnect it .? If yes , how frequently .?
My main concern is if i keep it plugged in all the time , will i degrade my battery life and wear it ? I'm confused ...

When playing for 2+ hours, I always remove the battery, and run the laptop plugged. However, for casual gaming sessions like 30-40 minutes of Fifa etc, I leave the battery in. I always remove the plug while watching movies though, only connect it if it goes low battery. Surfing etc, let it stay connected. That's my pattern.

IFAIK , heat is an important factor that reduces battery life considerably for Li-ion batteries. And as a matter of Fact , anything strenous like Playing games or Encoding HD movies , will lay stress on GPU causing heat-up.
SO avoid playing games for long duration on battery without a decent lap-cooler.
I had bought the 15r turbo (core i7, FHD, 8GB ram) a month ago. It came with 30 days trial of Mcafee security solutions. As the subscriptions were about to end I decided to install eSacn Antivirus (as i had the license already). All went alright and i restarted the laptop but I was shocked to realize the laptop wasn't booting. It kept saying to insert the recovery disk. It didn't even boot into safe mode. The I inserted a Ubuntu live CD just to realize that I had lost all my data (Don't know how, but it seriously bothers me!). When I contacted Dell they just say 'it's because the antivirus was incompatible with windows 8'. They also told me that they'll be sending a Windows 8 disk to me.
I don't wanna loose all my data again just because of some Windows 8 security crap. So any ways to install windows 7 on my laptop? It came with windows 8 pre-installed.

You should uninstall installed antivirus software, reboot and then install new.
I wonder why Dell is providing antivirus which is not used by majority of users.
this issue seems really odd to me, installing av wiped your data???
and try to repair the lappy with windows 8 disc if you have it..
Yes. Its kinda odd. The whole hard disk was wiped and was converted into a GPT protective.
I couldn't install any operating system as the hard disk was locked.
I quickly inserted an Ubuntu live CD just to check if my data is there or not. I was shocked to see the partition I created was totally gone and it just showed a partition of 900 odd GB.
Now I have unlocked the partition somehow and running Ubuntu happily.

BTW just wanted to know should i remove the battery from the laptop when i game on it ?
I tend to plug in my laptop to AC plug 24 x 7 . Would that affect the battery life ?
Also , My 130 W power brick ( with a US connector as i got the laptop from US ) gets HOT while gaming . Is that normal ?
It gets hot to an extent that it gets uncomfortable to touch it . Plz suggest if this is normal .

More the watt, more the heat. I think it is normal.

yes, in performance, betas are much better than non-beta ones, but they might arise some inconsistencies, like crashing in some games etc.
for me, betas have always worked better than non-betas..
and it's recommended to uninstall previous drivers before installing new ones..
Okay I am sure this has been asked countless times before,but I really don't feel like going through all the previous posts.
Can anyone tell me how to limit battery charging to say,80% while the laptop is plugged into the charger?
Need to save those precious discharge cycles.

for wifi driver, please check these threads (are for windows 8, but some steps might work for you too in win7, as wifi disconnection is common problem in win8):
