most laptop external display ports only push data out and do not accept. so there would be no way for you to connect your pc to your laptop. just plugging your graphics card into your laptops VGA, HDMI, DVI, or displayport wont work. 

there may be some software solution, but i have yet to find one.

in short, no

That sucks, but I'll find my specs to make sure.
