Will this device allow my laptop to be closed while I work off of an attached monitor?

It depends on the computer you have if you attach a mouse for instance into a usb port on your computer and close the screen putting it into sleep mode and then move the mouse and it wakes up then this item should allow you to work off an attached monitor. (My computer does this it's an HP)

yes. Just make sure that your power settings for when your lid is closed are set to "do nothing" and everything should work fine.

It depends on the laptop computers' ability to output SVGA, most all laptops have a (s)vga (Blue) output jack on them and a "function" key that allows toggling between the laptop attached screen, or the output jack or both simultaneously. Hope this helps

YES!! You just have to disable "power on w/monitor" in the general settings.

No. On any Windows machine, server or otherwise, in order to have auto shutdown the software must be installed and configured; and the usb must be connected.

It depends on if you are sending the main monitor out to the screen. If so, then yes.

I use a laptop which I have on a separate stand as a second monitor to the side

Closing the cover will deactivatethe screen momentarily but will not completely turn off your tablet if it is on. You can only accomplish this with the tablet on-off switch.

Not without buying a separate attachment for your monitor. There will be insufficient clearance between the mounted monitor and the keyboard shelf to allow for opening a laptop without the laptop screen partially blocking the monitor screen.

Yes you can. I use dual monitors with my docking station. One is connected to the laptop VGA or HDMI output and the other is connected to the dock. I keep my laptop closed and only use the monitors. One is set up as a mirror of the desktop. Hope this helps.

Yes. I'm assuming you're running on Windows here. These instructions are specific to Win 7, but they shouldn't differ much from Win 8. Go to battery options by clicking on the battery icon on the task bar (bottom right corner). Whichever battery 'plan' is selected/active, edit its options. In the options screen, click on advanced. A list of options should appear. Expand the option for close lid action. The default is probably 'sleep'; change it to 'Do nothing'. Save your changes. Now your laptop will still run when you close your laptop. If it's plugged in to a docking station with a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, you will have a regular desktop! Hope that helps.

USB fans do shut off automatically upon shutdown. If my laptop is merely put to sleep, fans continue to operated even with lid closed.

Yes, I have a laptop and a desktop connected - I have disconnected the Laptop and the switch still works with the Desktop.

I am not sure. In theory it should work but I don't know if it will allow you to toggle between the screens in the way that you want. As it is right now, it takes a long time to get the laptop to switch from its own screen to the monitor that I have. Most of the time I just put it in sleep mode but I am finding that my computer does not like being left in sleep mode indefinitely.

If I'm understanding your question correctly, then I believe the answer is yes. In my configuration, I have a MacBook Pro laptop (undocked and closed) and a Dell laptop that is docked (also closed). Both laptops remained closed at all times while I'm using my dual monitors. If I happen to open the Apple laptop, then the laptop screen becomes primary and one of the external monitors becomes the expansion screen. I'm sure this could be changed or altered using your computers configuration settings also. Hope this helps.

You can close the oven door on the cable with no problem. You can't leave the monitor in the oven. BTW, the monitor has a magnet on the back so I put it on my refrigerator while I have the probe in the oven. You could also stick on the side of the oven.

Depends on the depth of the window and the placement of the fan. I have standard size windows and can't close them with the fan and screen in place.

as mentioned, I guess it suitable to most model, since I had tested with my alienware m14r2, Toshiba qosmio and hp DM1 under windows 7. as for the close laptop lid and hide laptop, no issue as this is control from windows, control panel>hardware and sound>power option> edit plan settings>select advance settings>under the power saver (active), choose power buttons and lid, select lid close action and put as "DO nothing", then u are there.
