There seem to be 2 main ways people use laptops in my unscientific "asking of my friends" survey: Plugged in for long periods, or unplugged for long periods. It seems like the vendors should have solved for both of those.
From the previous answers to this item, it would seem that most vendors focused on long life unplugged (6 hours! 10 hours! So long, you'll forget where you last put the cord!) and "you'll have to buy a new battery... and they aren't cheap" if you stay plugged in.
While part of me finds that hard to believe, another part wonders if this is just a part of the wonderous circle of (battery) life. Luckily, the conspiracy part left the building, or he would have said that the evil vendors do this on purpose to keep a steady cash flow.
