[QUOTE="ToddG, post: 301495, member: 23228"] Sooooo ... there actually seems to be some debate on this issue. I wonder if anyone attending the big Mac show this week might be able to corner someone from Apple who actually has reason to [b]know[/b] the answer. My gut tells me eric is right ... they wouldn't design a "clamshell" mode if it was bad for the computer. But at the same time, people with a lot more Mac experience than me have pointed out that the Mac uses the keyboard as a heat vent. This is why there is no built-in option to keep Sleep mode off when you close the lid ... [i]unless[/i] you are in clamshell mode. I run in clamshell pretty regularly and would love to know the official answer on this. [/QUOTE]
