I am just wondering what is the minimum lifespan of a laptop before it needs to be replaced. I am asking this as my battery has started not to be able to hold charge and causes the laptop to switch off before the low batter warning comes up. Does anyone know a solution to this except from replacing the battery?

This can very greatly based on usage and temperature. Some will last 2 years before having to be replaced, others up to 4.
The only solution is to replace the battery.

I've had a MacBook Pro battery stop charging after only 6 months... the best thing you can do is make sure you periodically drain the battery almost all the way down. Laptop batteries stop charging properly if you keep them "full" all the time. Follow the practice given by your laptop manufacturer or the battery manufacturer to ensure the longest life you can get from a battery (assuming you have one that isn't defective.)
