[marno071]

Hello
I can't seem to find the right phrase to find the subject.
I am grade 12 and are going to study Software developement /ingeuneering next year.
I like to do video rendering as well
I want to know how possible it is to do the following :
Example. I have a fairly strong PC which I do all my projects on.
I want to buy a moderate Laptop for mobile use, and I want to use my PC's processing power to compile and Build software and to render videos from my laptop.
I hope you guys understand

It is not quite clear what you are wanting to do.

Are you just wanting to files to be on your laptop and then have the PC access them and process them?
Or are you expecting to run a software from your laptop that would utilize the desktop's processing power?

If you are wanting the first one, that is simple enough, at least when at home on the same network.
If you are wanting the second one that is not really possible.

You could always do a remote desktop connection from the laptop to the desktop as well, then you would have everything on the desktop but be able to work on it from the laptop.

I was Wondering/talking about the second one. But thaught it would be near impossible. Kind of like where there is a network with a bunch of small PC's where they work on the main server(like you said, utilize the processing power).
Now that you mention the remote connection idea. I'll go for that option. Cause I was really hoping for the second one. That would be very cool to use a funcrion like that.
