When I bought our laptop a few months ago, the vendor advised me to regularly plug in order to charge the battery. Not using the laptop for more than a week may cause to weaken the battery. Another advice is not to unplug it when the charge is not 100% yet because that will also weaken the battery. Any opinion on this?

Not using a laptop can weaken its battery life? I haven't heard that one before. But I suppose a battery starts degrading slowly after its first use.
There are other things you can do to improve your battery life and the reliability of other components as well. Choose your settings and power options carefully. Disable devices that are not in use (ex. bluetooth, webcam), and turn your computer off when you're not using it.
Finally, enable desktop mode (if possible) and use a charger.

I also keep my laptop plugged in anyway and also the battery's now can not be removed as the old models used to be. They are built into the PC and to remove them you need to take it apart.
I rely on bluetooth heavily, the majority of my devices connect over bluetooth, not a cable, as for the webcam powerd already manages that and keeps it off until an app requests it.
Batteries are like $200 tops to replace so I'm not particularly worried about it, when it has to be replaced, it has to be replaced, nothing I can do to change it. ("nothing is made to last" - https://goo.gl/3Ps1YR ( I don't want video to emded) - if you get my reference PM me for free FP)
Nothing lasts. In 5 years that battery is gonna have to be replaced like it or not.
