Also, many laptops have non-replaceable batteries, and a significant percentage fail in 24-30 months.

FYI Lenovo and probably others have an option to limit max charge which will greatly extend battery life.

I have mine set to 80% and only set it to 100% if I know I'm going to be away from AC for a while.

Most laptops have replaceable batteries from my experience. Its just you have to grab a screwdriver and open them up first.
