Maybe as a clarification: I have this laptop since August. From the start, the max. possible Battery capacity has never been more than 96% of factory. And currently it already lowered itself to 92% of the max. possible capacity. At this rate, I am actually worried that this battery would need to be replaced in the not too far future. And if the quality is as it seems with this one (not very good), I would foresee at at least a second and maybe third battery change. And honestly: shipping a laptop to a repair facility, with a bill of (I'm guessing here) let's say 200 dollar or Euros per repair, that would actually rack up a bill of 600 dollar additionally over the lifetime of the machine. And at it's purchasing price, that is WAY too much.
