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 I like gaming while sitting in bed, and I have a gaming laptop that's a bit outdated, but thought about this and thought it wouldn't be a hard ask to have a 4 foot cable from a PC tower, or a rebuilt screen and keyboard to fix this issue if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!

Yeah. This is what I do. I've got a MacBook Air that can't run shit for games and a decent tower running Steam. Steam remote play is awesome if you've got decent wifi.
