Mac Tip: Use Your Notebook in Desktop Mode

This is a pretty common request I get all the time, so I figured it's finally time to make a video about it. This technique allows a Mac user to use their notebook in desktop mode, also known as using an external monitor as the main workspace.

If you have any questions regarding this tip, feel free to post a common or send a message. Also please don't forget to check out my Ustream from March 15-23 and my blog that is updated almost daily:
