pc run through laptop?

Question

hi, im going away to college in a week, and i just got my new laptop for school. its a hp pavilion dv6000. i play a few games for the pc, but my laptop has an integrated video card so it dosnt run games well at all. the reason i cant bring my pc to school is because it will take up to much room in my small dorm. (monitor, mouse, keyboard, ect...) i was curious if there was a way where i could just bring my pc box, and hook it up to my laptop so that it just uses my laptop screen and keyboard?

Answer 1

The only way to control your desktop from laptop, I could think off, is using "Remote Desktop Connection", but most games would not work with that. By the way, if you are thinking to bring your Desktop AND laptop to the dorm, just ditch the laptop and get flat screen monitor and keyboard.

Answer 2

You can use a video switch to connect your laptop to the same display as your PC, but there's no way to put games on your laptop and take advantage of the video card on the PC.

You will need to run your games on the PC. I'd keep your school work on laptop. I'd back up your work to a memory stick and maybe save it to your PC as a second backup.

Laptops can break and can be "borrowed" so make sure to make multiple copies of your work on major projects.

Answer 3

no sorry, if your already going to bring that much equipment then why not just bring the whole set-up?

BUT your laptop might be able to hook up to your desktop's monitor.

Answer 4

Nope

Answer 5

Nope you cant, not as far as I know.

If you wanna play games, just get an xbox or PS!

Answer 6
