Having your battery charged near 100% all days long with charger plugged in will soon degrade the battery and you may be surprised by your battery time.

Also some people prefer buying gaming laptops for better performance. The problem often is insufficient cooling, fans too noisy and ridiculously low battery time (obviously) from already-big and heavy battery pack.

This is configurable on many laptops. I keep my laptop around 75% charged unless I'm traveling for this very reason.
