Using MacBook in Clamshell Mode When Connected to an External Display Hello, I wanted to seek people's opinions on using a MacBook in clamshell mode when connected to an external display. I know how to do it and that you have to be connected to power when doing this, but I was wondering if connecting it to power could potentially cause issues with battery health along the line. Thanks.
