My favorite is how when I close my macbook with an external display plugged in, the laptop screen remains on (and lit up!) with seemingly no way to configure this behavior. Sometimes a window will end up on that (non-visible) screen which can be very confusing.
- GuinansEyebrows 2y agoThat seems like a misconfig or a broken lid sensor or something. I’ve been using MacBooks with a single external monitor as my only display (MacBook closed) for over a decade and I’ve never had the laptop display stay on when closed with an external display. Maybe time to visit the Genius Bar?
- matt_kantor 2y agoMy M1 has been like this since I got it so assumed it was by design, but perhaps not. My old macbook doesn't behave this way.
- jcgrillo 2y agoHuh.. maybe that's why it always runs out of battery on the rare occasion I put it in a backpack and take it somewhere...
