If you're using processor intensive applications such as pro audio and video workstations software, you should definitely have your computer plugged in. That also applies to when you're updating your computer's software. Ideally, you'll want neither to leave your computer plugged in all the time nor run it on batteries until it dies. To optimise battery life, you should always disconnect your charger once your batteries are fully charged, and charge your batteries all the way when they get low without disconnecting the power during the charge cycle.
