A macbook works perfectly in clamshell mode. Just provide power and have a display connected. (not sure if you have to have a display connected, but it's how I'm typing this comment right now)
Also, using tmux (or screen) on the other end of the ssh connection helps. And not only for when you close the lid, but also if the connection gets interrupted (power failure, internet failure, routing failure, whatever)

I can't imagine how much more equipment would be damaged if the people described were carrying around a power source and a monitor with them so they could close their laptop and bring it to a meeting without dropping their sessions.
- folmar 7y agoThere are fake display adapters specifically to combat stupid problems with running mac displayless. Maybe we need a fake power source as well...
