I was told today by a friend that the battery in my Dell laptop has a predetermined number of times it can be charged and if I exceed that number of charges the battery dies. Therefore, I was advised to remove the battery any time I'm using the A/C power. Is this true? Thanks!
get rid of vista if you plan on playing games, this would be a wrong choice with the intel graphics card. try to look for a model with a nvidia video card. your best bet is for the xps series. also, go with the larter 9 cell battery if you want a decent battery life. with the 6, you'll get about 1.5 hours battery time after about 2 months. with the 9, you will get about 3 hours or more.
