I've been a notebook as my primary machine person for about six years now. In all that time, I've never once replaced a battery. Previously, I replaced my notebook every three years or so. Now, I replace them about every 18 months, buying them with our developer's license and then selling them 18 months later or so for a little less than I paid for it to keep current.
