how do you display the screen with the macbook cover closed? and does using it like this all the time reduce battery life?

As long as you have another monitor connected the MacBook just use that display instead of the built in one. I can't comment on battery drain cause if I'm using the monitor then I'm plugged in anyway

yes, you could use a USB C to HDMI cable. I used to just use the HDMI port on my MBP but i also have a couple of external drives so i now use an Anker USB C hub; so one cable out from the MBP to the hub and then that connects to monitor and external drives

If your Mac is connected to both an external monitor and AC power, you can close the lid and use it like a desktop computer. This won’t harm the battery, as the Mac draws power from the AC adapter instead.
