Turning on laptop without opening the lid

Hello,

I'd like to use this laptop connected to external displays, keyboard, mouse, etc. This I know how to do.

But currently, I have been turning it on by clicking on the "power" button on the laptop keyboard, which is inconvenient because I need to have the laptop with its lid open to do this. Ideally, I would like to have the laptop with its lid closed the whole time. Is it possible to turn on the laptop without having its lid open?

Thanks

If your laptop has an E-port, just use an E-port replicator such as PRO3X.  It can connecting to all external devices and leaving the laptop sitting on top of the port with the lid closed.  Push power button on the E-port when you want to turn the laptop on.

For around 20 usd, it will come with a 240w power supply, enough power to charge a fully loaded workstation.
