How do you use your macbook when it`s closed? I know you can use it when on AC power, but when on battery? smile.gif
*
you must connected to power if you want the to use it with lid close. no other way. mine once inserted in the dock, i wake the screen using the bluetooth keyboard/magic mouse clicks.
at first i was afraid about heat issues but not anymore. when my son was born i was away for 1 week in the hospital & remotely access my macbook using my iPad
with no problem.

How much for the henge dock?

And will the mbp overheat if running it by closing the lid
*
hi, think its around rm200 to rm300, i forgot already. also depends on size, mine is 15 inch.
the problem is they don't supply mini display port to hdmi adaptor that fit with the hengedock hole. i found moshi's is suitable.
last time i left it RUNNING with lid close for two weeks & it just fine.

for current use while at home it will be with lid close mode, when working i bring it to the office, i use it with lid open.
macbook even without lid close is hot also, hehehe..
i cannot guarantee, but this is based on my experience for more than a year & i love it!

Oh... Cause I using alienware with lid close all the times and never close and running 24 7...

And it's very hot actually and I dun realize as I dun go open it...

Hence I just bought another desktop which I think more suitable for me.

But I wanna buy mbp and tat setup look great.. And I always go machine touch their mbp is kinda hot also... Hence I worry about the close lid...

Staying in air cond room will help?
*
now that u mention it, my room air cond turn on not all the time, i don't feel any heat when I'm nearby also.
but u feel kind of warm if u touch it, but not to hot. at first i was worry if it get to hot it will damage the screen.
but until now, no problem.

theres a hengedock test on youtube where the fella run some test while monitoring the mac temperature.
that video help me decide.

Bro, how you remotely control your mac by using ipad? Teamviewer?
*
yes, its the free solution. i also bought splashtop streamer, this one can even output the audio very smooth. just that sometimes it cannot find my mac on the internet.
i can say, for stability & doing my job task teamviewer is the best. splashtop can also convert your mac resolution to meet your iPad, so it doesn't look so tiny that u have to pinch to zoom everytime you use it.

hi, what is so special about this "webcam"? isn't it only 640x480 resolution?
*
the one and only original apple external webcam. the aluminium body like the rest of apple product.. the design & build just antique..
check out how the len close.. auto focus.. & very smooth to mountain lion facetime & Skype..

im using hengedock.. this external camera is so cool for my mac setup..
if you can ever find one these days..

yes the resolution is low, for a web cam i think its good enough. im using a software called iglasses for additional picture setting..

the design itself is  drool.gif

if somehow it became obsolete, can easily mod with aftermarket webcam and use its housing.. flex.gif
*
ive thought of that before, coz the casing seems simple to tear apart.. but then i cancel my plan.
i also do some research on macbook isight component part but failed.. component too small.. chips... i dont understand..
theres another camera claim rivalry to the isight.. dont remember the name, its from australia i think..
but still got some issues & no autofocus..

the only problem I'm facing with the isight is the new mac computer dont have firewire 400..
after i got the 400 to 800 converter, i have to mod it to be use with my hengedock..
