Laptop on the monitor?

I have the following question: can I connect my laptop to my monitor and use it as a replacement for a real PC, close it and set it aside and use it with a mouse and keyboard without having to open it to switch it on? Laptop has HDMI and Windows 10.

With a docking station that works the way you want it. Otherwise, the laptop itself must also be opened because otherwise the sleep mode, as far as I know.

Collapse works only with a docking station.

Otherwise, it works fine.

If you have a docking station, yes. Otherwise, by setting in the Einsetzllungen what makes the laptop when folding.

What is a docking station?

Even without a docking station, it only needs to be set so that when closing "nothing" happens.

That alone is not enough for a reasonable service.

But what does the docking station do?

You plug the laptop there and all connections and the power switch are routed to the outside.

But the FS asks for station wagon with monitor, USB mouse and keyboard. That's enough!

Your opinion. In my opinion, that is very much in need of improvement.

If the laptop is to be used only as a computer replacement, where is the difference to a desktop PC? Please explain that to me.

Laptop → portable

Desktop → less portable

I do not know exactly where your problem lies. I honestly have no desire to deal with it more closely.

I can connect my laptop to my monitor and use it as a replacement for a real PC, fold it down and set it aside and use it with a mouse and keyboard without having to open it to switch it on

I answer the question as desired. But you tell a lot more and do not answer the question…

And that's exactly what I have in my answer. You have to read it yourself.
By the way, please do not bother me here anymore.

If it sucks you, just ignore the comments.
