[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1248905, member: 59143"] Just make sure that when using it in clamshell mode, you unplug it when not using it. Keeping it plugged in all the time is not good for the battery. The cells need to be run continuously for good health. Trust me, I've been running my MacBook Pro in Clamshell mode for 3 years. You don't need any extra software to run it this way, either. You just need to have the power plugged in, and to have your USB peripherals set to wake the MacBook with usage. Doug [/QUOTE]
