Dude, what is with my laptop???

I bought it just a year and half ago, and now it shuts off when the battery gets to 20%. No reminder to charge the battery anymore or anything. What a stupid piece of s**t 😂.

IF you have been running it off the mains all the time, that may have fried the battery

@johnbgood You know, it's weird. I actually have the exact same make and model as my previous laptop, and the battery didn't start going bad until it was 4 years old. I don't know what the deal is.

@SubstantialKick Batteries not so well made, so you have to buy more?

@johnbgood Well for my old one, I just removed the battery and ran the machine off of AC power like a desktop. Same with the old one I had before that.
