These are the default settings for when a Mac laptop is plugged in:
Notice how
- the display will be turned off automatically after 10 minutes of inactivity, and
- the ”Prevent computer from sleeping…” option is not checked, which suggests that the laptop will go to sleep when the display is turned off (after 10 minutes of inactivity).
If I check the “Prevent computer…” option, I can expect that the laptop will not go to sleep after the display is turned off automatically.
But what if I then close the lid? Does this setting also prevent the laptop from going to sleep even then?
