ibook in dock mode

[acidtuch10]

Curious to know (before I go out and buy the Keyboard Pro Mouse and monitor ) If I have a Keyboard Mouse and Monitor plugged into my ibook with Jaguar running will I be able to close the LCD screen and use it like a docked PeeCee laptop? If not is there any way to shut off these features so it will be possiable >?

Thanks

the only solution to that that i've found (and it's not really a solution) is to turn the brightness all the way down on the ibook and hope that it doesn't close all the way. kinda dumb that apple didn't build that feature into the laptop.

does tibook do this?

Maybe they left that feature out on purpose so you could spend another $3k on a desktop mac? hehe

Actually, it's because the iBook ventilates through the keyboard and the vents at the monitor hinge, both of which would be blocked if you closed the lid. Thus, running it with the lid closed can lead to overheating, which is why they set it up so this is impossible.
