It's usually recommended to take out the battery and leave the lid open if possible, but I can't see why you shouldn't use it. If you need the battery for backup purposes leave it in, but it's usually better for the battery to not be continuously charged. If you are gonna leave it out for a long period of time, discharge it to about 50%. I forget the reasoning behind this but it's better for the Li-Ion cells.
..and keep it very cool, better in the fridge.
