Probably not in Apple’s “it just works” design philosophy. Also that’s another moving piece that can break.
I mean... it doesnt seem uncommon to have people dock a closed laptop so I would argue it doesnt "just work".
On the topic of closing and opening your MacBook, has anyone else had an issue where with an M1 any time they open it from sleep the cursor moves at like 20hz until you close it and open it again? It’s been driving me mad and I can’t find anything about it online.
I was recently trying to figure out whether the microphone is usable when using my notebook in clamshell-mode. Turns out Apple added a privacy/safety feature to all Apple silicon-based Mac notebooks and Intel-based Mac notebooks with the Apple T2 Security Chip. It will hardware disconnect the microphone when the lid is closed, based on the lid sensors. Pretty cool safety feature!! Even though I'm sad I can't use my m…
The correct solution would be to have a hardware kill switch for the microphone (and camera). This is exactly what Purism laptops offer.

How would a microphone work with the lid closed anyways? It’d be muffled. If you’re docking your laptop closed, you’ve got an external webcam / mic if you need those inputs.

Why would I need to get mic if I have it in laptop? It makes very little sense to me.

I have the same exact issue on my M1 MacBook Air. You can find plenty of others online with the same issue if you search 'cursor lag' - however I haven't found a working solution. If you figure it out please let me know!
