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.


MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.0

No. You can leave your Mac connected to power 24/7 if you wish.
