Can you close the screen on the laptop while it's plugged into the dock &amp; still use the computer? Or will the laptop still have to have the screen up?

Hello, You may close the screen when it is attached to the unit. But I take my laptop home an a regular basis and I have a plastic cover on the top and bottom to protect the unit from scratches. Here is the kicker... You will have to take off the bottom plastic protection every time you want to lock/secure your laptop to the Landing Zone Dock. I would still buy it again, it

I personally used a 2 screen configuration, my MBPr along with an additional screen). You can close the laptop and just use your other screen. Of course you will need a Bluetooth keyboard.

Yes. If it is not plugged into the power source the screen automatically turns off and the sound remains. I believe there is also a way of turning off the screen if it is plugged in but I do not know as we do not do that.

It is still accessible.Beware, it's hard to make the connection to charge as the charging connection is not completely stable. you have to wiggle it to find the correct position. I don't even use my dock anymore. I bought a different one...

If you turn the laptop off you will have to power it back on manually. But you can let the laptop on in standby so that your antivirus software continues to update virus definitions and scan for viruses as scheduled. The docking station will continue to power the laptop in standby and charge the battery. Another useful tidbit: the docking station comes with 9 power adapters, but did not have one for my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. Customer service sent the adapter I needed at no charge and I received it in 2 days.

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.

The screen is always connected to the keyboard. when it is "open," the screen merely slides up at an angle and is held in place a that angle. This is not a typical laptop in that the screen is always exposed. It does not fold over onto the keyboard.

You should be able to close and hide your laptop by using the docking station. You may need to change power settings on the laptop so that the computer does not switch to sleep mode when closing the lid.

Hey there... Yes, you can use it while it's connected to the power outlet. It doesn't have a dock station.-

No, not if you mean interacting with the laptop's screen. It just has a touch pad that allows touch-screen-like gestures. For example, you can swipe to scroll up and down, side to side. A three finger swipe from the top of the screen will close an app.

I really don't know, but from my experience I would think the lap dock actually acts as your screen and you can input whatever you so desire.

No. You cannot use both at the same time. I have both. While watching a video or reading something I use the book cover. When It's time to work on a spreadsheet or document I attach the Keyboard dock.

You can leave the stand steady on the desktop and set the monitor on the desktop in front of it. I have the stand steady on the side of my desk and disconnect my laptop from the docking station and put it on stand steady.

Hi Clarissa, The dock has a fixed cable, that cannot be disconnected, that has a USB plug on the other end. Just connect it to a USB plug (The Apple one that came with your phone for example) and then plug that into the wall. You can also connect the dock to any USB plug, laptop, car etc, and it will also charge i believe, however i do not believe it passes data (music etc) although i have not tried it.

set your screen to time out in 15 seconds when on the dock. I only have my phone in the dock when I am running a GPS app. Not sure why you would have the phone up in a charging dock on the windshield if you did not want the screen lit up.

By the tone of the previous answers, I believe that they feel you are asking about the power required for the docking station. The responders are correct in stating the docking station needs a power connection. If you are referring to the ability of the docking station to supply power to your laptop via the USB connection, I would have to say that is entirely dependent on the laptop. My laptop (Dell) does not charge with the USB. External power must be connected to the laptop using the power brick. Hope this helps.

I am looking at my laptop in my dock now. It looks like there will be plenty of room for the extended battery when the laptop is in the dock. I do not have the extended battery, but looking at where the extended battery would go, I see nothing that would get in the way. Hope that helps!
