How can I hook up my laptop to my desktop to use its peripherals?
So right now I have a desktop computer with mouse, keyboard, speakers, monitor, and a printer.
I am planning on purchasing a Dell XPS M1530 to use when I'm not at home.
When I am at home I want to be able to easily hook it up to my desktop to be able to use all of its peripherals. For example the monitor, which is much bigger on my desktop, or the printer.
Is there some way to easily do this?
I am aware of docks, but to my knowledge, the M1530 does not have one, and I don't think it could be used in this fashion.
I am also aware of KVM switches, but this involves plugging and unplugging all those cables every time I want to use it.
So is there some magical way to connect the two through a USB cable or something and just work through the desktop?
I am wondering the same ?
