I'm planning on the next refreshed 15" Macbook Pro now. I plan on putting it on my night stand, playing music through external speakers, keeping it plugged in most of the time. However there will be times when I do take it off the charge to take around. Will this do harm to the batteries life?
Got a tip for us?

As long as you run it on battery every few days, you'll be fine.

Exactly. Make sure you keep a good mix of battery usage and it shouldn't be a problem.
