I understand that you would like to connect your Mac notebook to an external display. I can help you out with that but will need more information as to what you are using. The main thing is to know what kind of Mac notebook you have as you will probably need an adapter to plug it in. Take a look at the next articles to tell you about the specific model you are using.

Once we know that, we also need to know what kind of display you are using to know what kind of adapter to suggest. There are a list of adapters in the next article that will help you choose which one to get so you can get the display to work with your Mac.

Then using the Apple Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse while the MacBook runs with the display closed. It's easier in this set up to work with applications that require more screen space (i.e. modelling, animation, compositing, video editing).
