You can run a laptop for as long as it can without damaging the battery.  It's just that battery longevity is rated in terms of cycles (say, 1,000 cycles at peak capacity), so the longer you're running it away from a wall charger, the quicker you consume those cycles.

 

My general rule: stay plugged in when you can, but don't panic if you can't.  It's a laptop -- the whole point is to work away from a power outlet when you need to.  It's designed to keep going until it runs out of charge.
