Unless your Laptop has a video input (which ive never seen on a laptop), then no.

*Requires network connection - a cheaper alternative would be use VNC (Or similar. cheaper as in FREE [well,some..] ) - essentially, with these applications: you run a client program on your desktop, and then connect to it from your laptop and view the contents of the desktop.. the major problem with these is the screen size of the laptop - you can use 'em, but usually have to switch back'n'forth between the Viewer application and your Laptop screens..
