Not possible, trust me I've tried it. Computers/monitors don't have the technology yet to be able to render out the graphics of the xbox.

Granite_state uses his xbox through his laptop screen, and even pulls his xbox live straight through the wifi on his computer. he bought a cable online that hooks it all up.

should be able to swing it. you'd the proper port/cable to run between the two, but it's definitely doable.

Unless your laptop has a hdmi input on it, then sadly you can't unless you could find some usb video input or some pci card if your laptop supports it.

Pretty sure u need special equipment to do it. Its gonna cost too. I'd suggest getting a cheap 24" or 21" monitor with hdmi input. Use it for Xbox or even a secondary display with ur laptop

Instead of rating members low, I masturbate to pictures of them and their children, so the punishment really hits home

Yea get a monitor.

No current laptops are going to have capable card inputs for an Xbox. Most don't have any video input system whatsover.

This would be one of those "magic cords that make it work". I'm not sure about lag though.


and you have to have Thunderbolt or USB 3.0

1- Put disk in laptop (if it trys to spit it out, Thats ok! just tape it in)
2- Start up laptop
3- Open google chrome
4- Google image Search the term "Tits"
5- Rub penis until ejaculation occurs
6-Forget you ever wanted to play xbox and take a nap.
7-Your day was now better.

What you're trying to do is just pass the video to the laptop screen, and not use the laptop, right? If so, well, you're kinda boned cause i dont think any laptops have video in.

I was joking with my earlier post, all you need to do this is an "HDMI In" port on you're laptop or graphics card.

that's not true because the laptop wouldent have to process the Xbox graphics its like plugging it into the tv it only  uses the screen or just like plugging you laptop into a tv it just uses the screen ive ran my xbox thru my laptop a few times on really long road trips

So I'm assuming you have an ungodly overpriced Alienware laptop that has an HDMI Input on it? Because that's the only way you can do it. I'm not buying it.

I call bullshit

what you need to do is get a thing that they use to record xbox's on laptops I think its like a caprute card or something.  I searched it up for PS3 and I would assume its pretty much the same for Xbox 360.

solution right here:

Yeah, an HDMI Out port you fucking idiot. I took computer classes all through high school. I know what the difference is.

And I just looked through the specs of all HP G60 models, and non of them have an HDMI Out port, so obviously you are lying.
