My laptop gets very little use these days since retirement.  But I took 
it to work in the field every day and used it as a laptop was meant for. 
  I did replace the battery once in it.  My wife's computer almost never 
gets taken anywhere and just sits in the same spot plugged in all the 
time.  I eventually took the battery out and just let her use it that 
way as I was worried it would explode some day.
Your link also looks like my new purchase won't have the ability to do 
what I want, so I got to get her trained to use this one differently.
