You "can" but not easily.

You can also just use remote connection to the desktop from the laptop, will be almost the same thing.

There are several programs to do this, MaxVista is a pay one, it was the first one I ever heard of for doing this. Another one is ZoneOS Zonescreen, it appears to be freeware.

These work, but slow down the video by a lot. It's good for basic programs, not much else.
