• It's never a good idea to leave a laptop plugged in constantly. I would unplug it from time to time and let the battery drain. Not necessarily all the way, just enough to fluctuate the percentage.

• There should never be an issue with keeping a laptop plugged in every day, all day. I've found that the best way to exercise the battery is to unplug the laptop and take it to a different location from time to time and let the battery drain a bit.

• The battery is not removable. You might want to consider replacing the hard drive for an SSD to extend the run time.
