Anybody else NOT have a laptop anymore? I retired few years back and just use my iPhone for everything.

When the battery in my newer laptop started to swell, I swore off computers that have their own power.

I'm on a Mac Mini now. I never even OPENED the stupid laptop any more, just ran it attached to a 27-inch monitor.

I had a friend who ran his laptop with Battery removed on AC and only used the battery when he was outside

@AndersonArtwork @mcfate @Meri On the earlier Mac laptops with removable batteries, the system would run at reduced power if the battery was removed.
