Using Your PC laptop or MacBook with the Lid Closed

Using your PC laptop or Macbook without an open lid has become increasingly more popular. Closing the lid does not mean that the laptop is not functional- in fact, it works just as well as when the lid is open. If you need to use your laptop in a pinch, follow the steps below to get started.

Steps

  1. Plug your laptop into an available power outlet or recharging port.
  2. Connect all necessary peripheral devices that you wish to use while the lid is closed. This includes monitors, speakers, keyboards, mice, or other devices.
  3. If necessary, connect your laptop to an available Wi-Fi signal.
  4. Press any key on your connected keyboard to wake up the laptop.
  5. Login to your laptop with your credentials.
  6. You should now be able to use your laptop while the lid is closed.

Tips

  • Before closing the lid, it is recommended that you adjust your laptop or monitor’s settings for best viewing.
  • Some laptops come with a variety of power-saving features. Consider activating these features to extend your battery life.
  • Be sure to take proper care of your laptop when using it with the lid closed. Avoid spilling liquids or food onto the keyboard or screen.
