A:Answer Yes, but you would have to send it to Asus USA to get it replaced. There are tiny screws all around the perimeter.
I just bought this laptop at best buy last weekend. Didn't get the best buy geek squad care. Then I called Asus's USA laptop line.
IF you buy the laptop, you get 1 year warranty from Asus.
During that year, you can mail your laptop to Asus to get your laptop battery replaced. You shouldn't do it yourself.
After that year is over, you can still ship it back to Asus BUT you would have to pay for the replacement battery.
