    I only play word games, listen to music, & read newspapers. It's on a wireless network at home. Do I need to replace the Toshiba battery I've had for almost 3 years, which needs replacing for $180 or can I run it on A/C power only?
    When I asked the geek guy he said I had to have a battery but I dont really save anything to harddrive other than softwear updates.

    when i was purchassing my laptop almost a year ago i was told to leave the battery out of my laptop if i had it on ac power , provided the bat is 100% charged my battery is usually left out while on ac.

    so if your question is can you use your laptop without a battery in it i would say yes

    i am also on a laptop from SIEMENS and the advice from my supplier was keep the battery charged but when on ac power leave it out:)

    Try it out.:D Disconnect and remove your battery, and plug the laptop into the AC power.

    It will either work, or it won't. :D

    My new Toshiba Tecra A7 laptop runs daily without a battery, but connected to AC power.

    My old Gateway Solo 9300 would NOT run without the battery connected.

    Found out it won't work w/o battery so I had to buy new one for $180. Wouldn't have purchased this Toshiba M35X if I'd known it.
