However, due to the heat dissipation by keeping the lid closed this could and will with time seriously affect your display and you will eventually end up with keyboard key marks on the display due to the heat dissipation.the ventilation is not that great either, especially on the entry-level MBPs as well as not having a 3rd party software to allow you to change the fans speed at your own necessity, it’s a no-deal.īeside this eventually going to affect your display where ur machine will probably end up with some nasty marks, performance is going to decrease as well due to the heat dissipation.

Please NOTE that if you’re doing any sort of heavy work on your MBP and here I am talking exclusively about the fourth-generation MacBook Pro, especially the 13″ with the 2 thunderbolts 3s model please be aware as they are pretty known for their heating issues (especially the ones with the T2 chip around 2019 I think). Although this is a workaround to keep the laptop in one place with its lid closed, I don’t see how this can exponentially benefit and save time as well as contributing to the device longevity.
