Can my Laptop Become a Pure Display?

[TheForetold1]

Hello,

Can I plug my gaming PC into my laptop in order to play games better, essentially just turning my laptop into a pure monitor. The problem that I have is that I am unsure whether they will conflict (both have Windows 10) or they will combine or which will overtake which. I don't have an actual monitor for I made it as a Steam Machine/Console for the TV, but just want to know if I can take it up to my laptop at times?

Also, I have ordered an Android TV box. Are they practically the same?

Here is my PC: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/jpCMsY

Thank You.

Your laptop probably does not have an input. Any video port is output only unless specified.

Oh, so don't bother then?

You can't even do it. Well you could remote desktop but that's not exactly being the monitor.

So don't even bother trying to use remote desktop?

Remote desktop is laggy and disables any extra graphics so you can't game on it. It's controlling your pc through another pc so that creates the extra latency. It's ok for other tasks.

Oh I didn't answer about android tv but it's kinda the same but those will be weaker ARM hardware and of course runs android. Steam machine is linux but the big thing is it's x86 hardware so the same as a pc.
