Good video. Had a setup like that for years. One thing I would add is a passive cooling pad for the laptop as with the lid closed it helps the cooling.

Every laptop is a computer *if you're brave enough*

Great video. Inspired me to hook up my work laptop to my big private PC with a large monitor with a kvm switch. Now I need to go further and hook up a dock to the laptop just to to avoid having to inset power, hdmi an USB cables every time!

Just add a wireless mouse and keyboard and monitor and there should be a button that You can use to switch from the laptops lid to the montor and You have yourself a Desktop computer. i did that for years

Question: With the laptop closed, can you turn it on and off from the keyboard/screen?

Does using a docking station put less stress on the laptop vs just plugging laptop directly into monitor with hdmi cable?

Thanks for the video man. Now I don't gotta but another PC.

If I take the laptop apart, can I shove the motherboard into a tower? When I'm out and about I just use a Chromebook. So I don't need the laptop. The Crome works just fine. It's easier to clean a tower than a laptop. It takes forever for disassembly and reassembly. Take care.

If my laptop has HDMI out and enough USB ports to support keyboard/mouse, why would I want the docking port?

[yosimitesam]

Dale didn't the laptop have an hdmi port so you could go from laptop to monitor and skip the dock?
