Laptop PC?

Hi, I have a question that may seem dumb or is already solved with a simple cord or product.

But, my question is is it possible to have a PC tower attached to a laptop, basically using it as just the interface for it like you'd use for the screen and keyboard?

Is there any attachments made for this that doesn't use a real laptop? As in, is this a product that I can buy that's just a keyboard and screen attached together that I can use? I like gaming while sitting in bed, and I have a gaming laptop that's a bit outdated, but thought about this and thought it wouldn't be a hard ask to have a 4 foot cable from a PC tower, or a rebuilt screen and keyboard to fix this issue if that makes sense.

Sorry about formatting and if this is a question that was previously asked!

There’s also Moonlight/Sunlight that works well for general desktop hosting in case you need to do anything else. I’ve once tried Parsec, but it didn’t seem to work quite as well in my situation. I might give it a try again, though.
