Can I use my Macbook Pro as a keyboard and screen for my P.C?

[steve111]

It might seem like a strange question but it would really help me out if I could do this!


Thanks!

Your MacBook Pro is a PC. Just run Bootcamp or VMWare Fusion.

Depends, you can use Remote Desktop Connection and connect to your PC and use it with a bit of lag...

Would I have to put it on my pc? (windows) It's just that i have a login password on my pc and if I need a keyboard to get into desktop then I can't do it.

Thanks,

You don't have a keyboard or screen for your PC?

Ah, I don't think you can use Synergy for logging in though.

LOL.
I think it will have to be a cheap keyboard, (assuming that with the password protected pc it's my only option.)

Will I need to get my monitor and lead or can I get away with that?

If you don't need a display to log in you'd be fine using VNC from your MacBook Pro, but the lag becomes mighty annoying when used for extended periods.
