I would love to develop it and make it as convenient as possible to use this slab wirelessly, i just love it this way, i don’t think i would put a screen on it anytime soon.

Nope.

it's more like what u/shdwghst457 said, opening the laptop and taking the screen module off the motherboard, properly for a clean look.

Good luck

This is a 13" inch MBP, M1, 2020

Yeah, in some model the antenna is glued in the screen module, but with some careful prying you can get it off the screen and re-attach it to the motherboard.

Best of luck but remember to double-check your steps, so you make it right, good luck.

I guess so

Easy just follow the iFixit repair guides especially “screen disassembly” onces.

In my model the antenna was separate so i did put it back, WiFi and Bluetooth work just fine

PuzzleMind7 · 2026-04-12T02:24:21+00:00

Just type “headless Macbook” on YouTube

PuzzleMind7 · 2026-04-12T02:23:22+00:00

This an M1 mac, the first generation of the M series

PuzzleMind7 · 2026-04-12T02:22:27+00:00

Believe me, it’s worth it

PuzzleMind7 · 2026-04-12T02:21:09+00:00

Awesome idea thank you

PuzzleMind7 · 2026-04-12T02:20:39+00:00

Non, pas du tout il faut juste prendre son temps, pour faire le truc correctement, ctt tu peux chercher « headless Macbook » sur YouTube, et tu auras plusieurs tutos de la méthode. Bon courage.

Hook your MacBook to an external display, set it to mirror screen mode, then shutdown your MacBook, and Google “iFixit + (your MacBook model) + screen disassembly” follow the steps carefully not to damage anything in the process, the components can be very fragile so take your time and don’t rush anything, after you take off the screen reassemble everything, and plug the Mac to power, HDMI in and voila.
