Ok so, I plan on using my new laptop with an external display and I'm wondering if mbps still have terrible wifi reception when the lid is closed. I ask this Because with lion it is impossible to have the lid open with the laptop screen off but the external display on. this also may cause heat issues when the lid is closed and I'm gaming I don't want my GPU unnecessary driving two displays and wasting prepossessing power, but i want to have good airflow and wifi.

TL;DR: can I get good airflow and wi-fi with the 2011 mbp's lid closed.

Thanks!

also now that I just thought of it, can I even have my laptop screen off with my External screen on in windows under bootcamp???
