Flap MacBook: External Monitor

If you use a MacBook, then it may well be that you are short of a screen when working. In this case, you have the option to connect additional external screens to the device. If you don't need the MacBook screen, then with the right setting it is possible to close it.

How to flip your MacBook closed when using an external monitor

When working on a PC, it can be useful to use multiple monitors. It is quite possible to connect external monitors to the device via the USB-C port and a suitable adapter. When you do not need the MacBook, you can close it. However, you do not always have to make separate settings so that the device does not switch off automatically.

1. First, connect a USB keyboard or mouse to your MacBook to be able to control the PC even when the device is closed. To use Bluetooth devices, enable the option via "Apple" > "System Preferences" > "Bluetooth".
2. Next, connect the MacBook to a power source.
3. Now you need to connect the desired external display to the device via a suitable port. In some cases, separate adapters are necessary.
4. Once the external display is connected, you can close the MacBook. Nun können Sie das Gerät wie gewohnt verwenden.
5. Weitere Einstellungen sind nicht nötig, da das MacBook automatisch aktiviert bleibt, solange der Monitor angeschlossen. Schließen Sie diesen ab, wird das Gerät wieder in den Ruhezustand versetzt.
