A huge upshot to using a laptop is you have a built-in UPS and KVM.

    Ideally see if you can do a battery charge limit. Lithium batteries are happiest around 40-60% charge. If you can limit it that low then you keep your built in UPS, don’t risk the CPU running at a crawl, and the battery is happy. Even just the normal 80% that good laptops offer will be sufficient.

      Well, that’s something to think about. I’ve always thought it best to take mine out. Tempting fate and all that.
