Currently using a MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. Need to ask sigh here whether connecting it to an external monitor 24/7 will cause any damage to the hardware or not? Thanks a lot

charger life span will reduce. coz u need to keep ur macbook charge so that u can close the lid for external monitor.

Will it affect the battery or GPU or any parts?

This is apple yo. BAttery, i dont think so, if u look at the tips how take care for macbook battery, some suggested to let your macbook charge all the time, to reduce the lifespan of batteries in charge cycles.

Once your macbook into sleep mode, everything will stop working.

My only experience was my charger stop working after did not turn off for 2 weeks straight. Other parts, battery, keyboard, LCD, speakers all are working just fine

after getting a replacement charger, so far no problem yet. *touch wood

Not bad not bad. Thanks for the info yea. Btw which model you using currently haha

LOL..mine is like plugged in for almost a year, always on and attached to an external monitor

not an issue to run 24 hours but still need a rest include PC or workstations
as they are not Server architectural

Such functionality is basic and it shouldnt harm anything on your MBP. Its like a normal PC desktop connecting 24/7 to its monitor from its Graphic Card.
