Answer 2

Usually with Lithium-ion batteries, (such as laptops and cell phones),the best way to keep a charge longer is to drain the battery fully, and then charge completely only until it says "charge complete. If you overcharge it by keeping it plugged in, it will not last as long.

So, just keep an eye on the charge after you drain the battery, and make sure it gets fully charged, then unplug it.

As for it being different for macs and PC's. It's no different, the only factor would be the components inside the laptop, and how much power they draw.
