Can you use a laptop?

I had excellent results with an OLD XP SP3 laptop (Compaq x1000). Seller was worthless & never responded to 2 ?'s as if this would work with Android phones. Havent had to use it on any W7 or newer tho. Only issue I had is if you point camera at the monitor while you are using the camers...looses connection (??) but just remove/plug & go back to work. We all got a yuck about the disclaimer "not for internal use"! Oh well, Darwin awards looses another applicant. The light control worked fine & def bright enough. Pic was VG also

No. Basic laptop. Works fine for web browsing, word processing and a bit of Command and Conquer Generals.

Yes, as long as your laptop has an Ethernet port to plug into, you can use this with your laptop. I use it with mine.

I have not tried, but I don't think so. My iPad hardly fits... so a laptop, even a netbook will be a very tight fit.

Yes you can! Though it may depend on your screen. My laptop screen didn't display anything for my xbox 360 so I had to use a computer monitor.

It can be used but it's really designed for a desktop. The part that holds the keyboard would be useless with a laptop.

As long as your laptop has a VGA output, you can connect it to your laptop. If your laptop has a DVI or HDMI output, you will need a DVI to VGA or an HDMI to VGA converter. You can use any converter no matter how inexensive it is, because this monitor accepts a digital VGA signal. I personally use it for my desktop (which has a VGA output) and my PlayStation 3 (which I use a cheap HDMI to VGA converter for, and it works perfectly).

No you cannot. It is very rare to find any laptop that can be upgraded in terms of processor and/or graphics card. Only desktops have that privilege.

Good question - you will have to scoot - it doesn't hang over enough for me to recommend it using a laptop. If your writing, reading, or eating breakfast...sure.

I use the bluetooth function to run my iPhone and iPad through the system. There is a USB port on the back so I would think a laptop would not be an issue, but I have not tried it. I hope this helps.

You could. It's a regular PC in tablet form. I didn't though because I prefer Win7

Yes you should be able to plug it into your laptop. Just make sure you have the software on the laptop.

It depends on your laptop. If it has an hdmi or vga port, then yes you can. I pretty much only use mine by hooking it up to a laptop.

I don't know why not. You have a keyboard. It's basically just a small laptop.

Yes! It's a standard laptop. I wouldn't recommend it being used for graphically intensive programs, but it can run pretty much anything.

You could, if you bought an optical drive separate to put in this laptop. Ordered as-is, it doesn't come with an optical drive (CD or DVD-Rom).
