That's a very good advice.  But I would extend it: Never use *any*
modern laptop without a battery regardless of power adapter specs.  

It may work without one, but the chances are high that it wasn't
designed to be used like that.  You can cut a few design corners if you
assume that a device always runs on battery, even when being charged.
I'd be surprised if there are any laptop designers not taking advantage
of that. It would be just stupid.
