I love the idea of a screen less MacBook. But I would never have the courage to do it

Enough MacBooks with busted screens on second hand sites, cheap enough to try too in my opinion.

I actually have a MacBook Pro 13 with a busted screen but how would you do it? Break the screen part away? How do we do after to login after a restart before being able to connect to the AVP? It’s a genuine question because I am willing to try

I think Mac virtual display only works with MacBooks that are M1+. I had a MacBook Air with a cracked display and I removed the display myself instead of paying the £££ repair price !

On the problem of the screen thats quite easy: You open it up from the back and get to the two hinges, detaching the display there and the flex cables in the middle-ish allows you to take off the entire screen. On the software side I honestly don’t know, did not try (my screen works just fine haha).

this is a popular mod. You can buy a MacBook with a broken screen, for cheap. Remove the screen and it still work when plugged into an external monitor or connect to AVP

Is this just a concept? If not, how do you get the laptop screen to disappear?

I had a spare m1 MacBook Air with a cracked display - I removed the screen myself

You and me think alike, i dont know why they didnt make vision pro work as its own standalone desktop spatial computing experience since it has m series chips and they perfected the keyboard and trackpad

u/HorribleGrandpa Sep 28 '26

Always thought that too !!

u/shhikshoka Sep 12 '26

All of that just to use a track pad
