Is it possible to use amazon fire stick on a laptop?

[jaime.tres]

I just want to know if I could use amazon fire stick on a laptop. I do understand that the HDMI port on my laptop is for output data, not input which is the one amazon fire stick needs. So how can I go about to do it?

You are correct in that the laptop's HDMI port is for output and cannot be used with the Amazon Fire Stick.

Is there anything on the Amazon Fire Stick that you can't get on the laptop? You can access Amazon Prime and other sites with your web browser. You shouldn't need the Fire Stick on your laptop.

Yes - I can't watch the live/recorded TV from my Recast on my laptop - the only way to watch that is through a Fire stick.
