[QUOTE="ronin67, post: 1247862, member: 114469"] Just picked up a 2011 15" MacBook Pro. However, I want to pick up the 27inch Apple LED monitor so I can get a bigger view when working at my computer desk. Can I close the lid of my MBP and still have the power on (is there any way to set this in preferences)? The reason I'm asking is because I ordered a larger keyboard to type on. So can I use the external keyboard, while the lid on the MBP is closed? I know this is a newby type question but I just want to make sure. Thanks as always everyone. May God bless. Ed:) [/QUOTE]
