QUOTE(daydreaming @ Aug 18 2009, 09:48 AM) guys, 1 question here. the macbook pro, can we actually close it and project it using lcd as shown in the pic below? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « my desk is very small actually....something like from the edge of the monitor (left side) to the mouse pad or first IPod shuffle. i intend to put my mbp on the bed or somewhere, since i got another drawing tablet. haha, this is actually a big headache for me. what to do, my room is so small, i cant fit a bigger table anymore. :| unless i remove my bed n sleep on the floor. u can set it using the power management la,so u can close it while running on the LCD.but my concern is,the gap between the keyboard also helps in heat dissipation.if u close it,where will the heat goes? plus,i'm not sure for MBP,as i'm using a MB, and the resolution is 1280x800.that size won't fit the big LCD screen.i think big lcd uses 1600x something rite? |

Why don't you try to put your MBP standing vertically. Please don't put on your bed, it will generate more heat.
For Screen Resolution, Yes, it will auto resize.
