This is probably stupid - but is this possible?
Basically my laptop just expired and I need a replacement. I want something capable of gaming - but in a laptop this appears to be twice the cost of a desktop.
I haven't got anywhere to put a desktop - i.e. no room for a desk in my house, I can only use a computer if I can stick it on my knees. A desktop unit could go down the side of the sofa. I don't need to take a computer with me when I travel.
So, is it possible to buy a cheapo laptop (even a reconditioned one or something) and then link this to a desktop unit as a solution, so the laptop is essentially a monitor and keyboard, and the desktop is the computer?
(I know I could run the desktop through my TV - but this would annoy the mrs and i'd never get to use it).
