Update: I just got off the phone with Asus, having spoken with someone who was quite friendly. He claims there is nothing in the N752VX or any other Asus that will prevent the unit from functioning on AC with a failed battery. In addition to that, they don't have anything that will cause CPU...

http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/msi-gx640-cannot-start-up-without-battery-plug-in-ac-adapter.562530/ This guy used the wrong adapter it seems. But as far as Macbooks go, the CPU performance drops 50% if there's no battery, as some kind of security measure by Apple. Really don't know...

Thank you... but what about what engineer5261 said? That certain MSIs and Macbooks can't be turned on without a battery?

Ok I've been googling all day and cannot find one site which states that certain laptops cannot run without battery. Can someone show me a link or something? It seems unreal, especially if it's sealed.

Thanks for all the input. The problem is I have no way of knowing if a laptop has a removable battery just by looking at the specs. Or is there a way?

Ugh just what I needed to hear. So I need to find a laptop with my specs but also removable battery. Mission impossible. Thanks for your help.

Thanks. Well, I have to disagree on your "sole reason" statement. I definitely want and need portability, but I don't care to use it unplugged unless absolutely necessary. Battery life doesn't interest me, only notebook life. I am interested in disadvantages for the notebook itself. People...

I need to know all the possible disadvantages of a sealed, non-removable battery. I actually don't intend to use the notebook unplugged, so even if the battery dies it would not be an issue for me. That said, can a sealed "dead" battery harm the notebook in any way? Would I be able to use the...

I was really hoping to get at least two replies. In any case, I am strongly considering the Asus N752VX-GC131T. The laptop has pretty good reviews but it does not have a removable battery so I'm not sure if this is a huge drawback. I don't even intend to use it unplugged so I assume I have...

Hello, I need a laptop for CAD and various 3D rendering. I would be rendering images, not video animations, so nothing spectacular is needed, meaning an "OK" performance is sufficient. Budget: Ideally € 1000, perhaps slightly more, max. € 1200 Brand: Anything except Acer Resolution: 1980 x...

Is there a way to find out from reading the specs if a notebook has a sealed battery?

Bump.

Hello, I would appreciate some help regarding my decision whether to buy the ASUS R753UX-T4223T: http://www.mediamarkt.de/de/product/_asus-r753ux-t4223t-2194360.html I have no experience whatsoever with Asus so I'm a bit "scared", but aside from that, my main concerns are these: 1.) Would...
