laptop components aren't made to run constantly..make sure you back your stuff up cuz it's gonna fail eventually.

My thinkpad has a bunch of options on how the battery is charged to extend the life when it is plugged in 99% of the time. Right now, i have it set to not charge until it gets below 90% which results in about 1 charging/month with my usage patern.

I wish my dell had the same thing

I think it's either the heat, or constant topup charge, or perhaps both. I have seen several people recommend that the battery should be removed if the laptop is plugged into mains power.
