Morning,

Curious if any of you know of some gaming laptops that might have HDMI-Out and HDMI-In?  My use case would be to dock my switch while I'm mobile. (Tears of The Kingdom has it's hooks in me atm)

 

Searching here for a solutions, using an HDMI cap card such as an Elgato to give you a jerry-rigged HDMI-Input but with some delay isn't really something I want to do.  I don't want the delay.

I have found a non-gaming laptop but this would be a major downgrade from my current rig minus the OLED screen.  Google is only giving me hdmi-out laptops.  I am seeing posts saying high end Alienware laptops used to include hdmi-in as well as other random machines.  Just not finding them.

Lugging a separate monitor isn't an option unfortunately.  If anyone knows of any unicorns please share. =D

Other than a couple old Alienware laptops, I don't think this is possible. The only option I could suggest is getting yourself an Elgato capture card with super low latency. Then playing through the playback window.
