Using a laptop as keyboard/monitor

Hi,

if you're running on Leopard you can use the built-in Screen Sharing (/System/Library/CoreServices/Screen Sharing.app).

Alternatively, take a look at teleport, an app that allows you to control multiple Macs with one set of input devices (works via LAN).

EDIT: Missed that you want something without VNC...I guess that's a no-go then.

Nope.

Pretty much need to use VNC or something like Apple Remote Desktop to control your desktop using your laptop.

EDIT: Right, forgot about screen sharing. Good catch!

 

That product looks like it could work, but it'd provide little benefit over a VNC client, as it has to transmit the connected computer's video signal at a greatly reduced frame rate. You might as well just use VNC.
