My son works in a boring job, but he is allowed to have a laptop there, and play games etc.

He would like to be able to take his laptop, and the xbox, using the laptop as the screen.

Is this possible please.

He started getting complicated with inputs and outputs, hdmi, usb etc, so I thought I would just ask if anyone has done it.

Thanks.

As far as I know laptops do not have a HDMI input, only output, so therefore he would not be able to use the screen on his laptop to view his Xbox.
