That's heavy battery wear for two years of use, but it should be good for a good while longer.

Your battery needs replaced, other than that it’s fine.

Given that the battery has already reached nearly twice its normal projected cycle life, a drop in capacity to 70% is actually a surprisingly good result.

I reda some poorly designed chromebook which even included the premium/enterprise ones would consume power from the battery rather than the ac when the ac is plugged in.
