How does the apple remote connect to the MacBook Pro? I have the older model and if I connect the laptop to an external monitor and close the lid, would the apple remote still work?
Okay thanks guys. I remember hearing that it connected via infrared and wasn't sure if it would connect with the lid closed. I'll probably pick up an apple remote in the near future.
Only $19 bucks at the Apple Store...less on eBay.

FWIW I just picked up the new aluminum remote tonight and it's awesome. It definitely feels better in the hands than the older plastic versions. Plus, it seems to be made with the same scratch resistant coating that the aluminum MBP's have too.
I highly recommend it.
Yeah, I'd definitely go the eBay route for something like that. I think I paid about $10 shipped.
