[QUOTE="Kevin6432, post: 923333, member: 48125"] Cool! I've also learned that you can hook up the monitor and have the power supply plugged in, and you just restart the computer and close the lid as it's restarting, and once it boots on your external monitor, you can open the laptop and use the keyboard and trackpad without the built in monitor turning back on. I do this on my 42" TV when I want to watch a movie, so all I do is bring my power cord and plug in the TV and restart the computer with the lid closed, and I can navigate to my movie without having to bring a keyboard and mouse as well. It's pretty neat! [/QUOTE]
