For example, if you are performing a lengthy process like downloading large files or performing heavy data analysis, you may want to, that the laptop continues these tasks while you keep the lid closed and continue doing other things.

2. Streaming or music playback:

For example, if you are listening to music or streaming a movie or series, you may want playback to continue even when the laptop is closed.

3. Remote Control:

In some cases, you may want to be able to access your laptop from another device while the lid is closed. This can be useful if you want to use your laptop as a server, for example, or access files without having to open the lid.
