Hi everyone,
I'm trying to find a way to use my MacBook with its lid closed, without having it plugged into an AC power source. I know that normally, using a MacBook in clamshell mode requires it to be connected to power, along with an external monitor, mouse, and keyboard. However, I'm looking for a solution that allows me to use the MacBook in closed-lid mode without being near a power outlet.
Currently, I've been using a workaround where I place a small rectangle to prop the screen open just enough so it looks closed, but I just want to know if there's a more official/normal way to do this. Is it possible to have the MacBook screen closed and still use an external monitor, without the MacBook going into sleep mode, all while not connected to an AC adapter?
Thank you!
