Yeah, the touch bar is quite a turn off for me too. That and the crappy keyboard made me always use the laptop in clamshell mode, which ironically I ended up liking quite a bit.
- markdown 7y agoWhat's clamshell mode?
- onemoresoop 7y agoclamshell mode = with the lid closed
- adrianratnapala 7y agoSo that you can SSH into it from your server?
- pier25 7y agoOr with external display, keyboard, and mouse.

- b212 7y agoSometimes I wonder how many people use Macs mainly in clamshell mode. I’ve been doing this for the last 10 years or so because working on a laptop is a huge ergonomy antipattern and Apples keyboards are famous for giving RSI.
- gnicholas 7y agoI would do this but the fan runs much more when closed. As is, I use my 2017 MBP exclusively with the wireless keyboard from my 2008 iMac.
- justinclift 7y agoGenerally putting something a few mm thick between the two halves, to give an air gap, helps. Sometimes means the screen won't turn off, so it needs to be manually disabled/turned off instead.
