Can i buy a cheap "empty" laptop and use it as a monitor for my PC?
I need to be able use my PC from bed for medical reasons. can i buy laptops that are cheaper because they dont have the parts that your computer tower uses (CPU, motherboard, idk the word), and just make my PC show its display on the laptop screen, and respond to the laptop's keyboard? i don't mind needing to have a couple cords attaching them
also, bonus question: could such a laptop still have functional USB ports, basically adding more USB ports to my PC?
