    is it ok to pull the battery out of the laptop and just run it on the adaptor when you are at home? will that affect the laptop in anyway?

    It's okay to do it, but why bother?

    I leave mine in all the time. I've had this laptop for a year and a half. It has a 6 cell battery and still gets over 3 hours on wireless. Maybe 10-15 minutes less than when it was brand new. ;)
