Dual Monitor - via a Laptop?
 
Is it possible to use your laptop as a dual monitor for your desktop - or vice versa?

Instead of getting a fancy new monitor and having dual monitors - i'd much rather have a second computer, but it would be sweet if I could "link" them together if I ever wanted to 8 table. --

I know I could run them both indepentantly, but I'm just thinking it'd be nice to have one mouse etc...

Since it is quite dependent on your laptop, read this and see if it doesn't help.

I hook up my monitor to my laptop and use extended desktop... is that all you're asking? I'm not sure if it's possible to input to a laptop screen from another computer, but you can definitely just use a second monitor with most laptops (it just has to have a port for the monitor cable, obviously).
