BTW, What's your video card? Is it powerful enough?
I don't use the laptop keyboard or the laptop screen. I use an Apple standalone keyboard and the Wacom Cintiq (attached to the articulating arm) as a monitor as well as the interactive part of it for dev. My laptop stays in the closed position all the time off to the side out of the way. If I wanna go out, I pull out the cables on one side (USBs, FW, ethernet, sound, etc... ) toss it in a backpack and go. Secure as it gets.
