Yes, all my laptops do it. Problem is once you reboot the laptop, it will turn the screen back on, and so you have to redo the key command again.
And speaking of lid to keep the laptop from getting dirty, I make my own laptop cases like a note taker with a cover flap over the top.

With Most laptops it can be done with a combination of the FN key and another key. Is this not an option with these laptops? ----- Original Message ----- From: "K.

Granted, if you got a sighted wife or somebody that use your laptop, then don't take the screen off. I don't have anybody that use any of my computers nor laptops and I have only one monitor in my house which is cover in dust.

I think removing the screen, though it might increase battery life, is very short-sighted and may cause more difficulties than first imagined. There are times my sighted wife might use a machine, she has to locate something for me or perform an operation which will not speak (image restores is an example) so removing the screen would make this impossible from what I gather. Correct me if I am in error or are not understanding, but I don't get it.
