does the battery die faster

there is a section in the owners manual that talks about it. Its not that big of a deal that you charge it everyday. Once a month you need to let the battery completely die, it will force the computer to sleep, and then fully charge the battery. Other than that, the battery will eventually deteriorate.

By the time your battery dies, if its not warrantied, you'll be able to get itouch batteries off ebay for like 6$ shipped. Ive already seen them for 15$
