I want to know if there's a huge difference between charging your laptop and running off of battery sometimes vs leaving it plugged in all the time - I sometimes move to my couch or something to do some work, and maybe leaving the charger behind is actually an additional cost

As long as it's plugged in, a charger will waste some power, but when it's not actually charging anything, the losses are negligible
