Nope. It's possible only if your laptop has HDMI IN.

Intel DH61WW - Corsair® Value Select 4GBx1 DDR3 1600 MHz - Antec BP-300P PSU

I don't think there is any way to hook it up as a second monitor, but you could use Synergy which would allow you to control it via your pc mouse and keyboard a little like a kvm but you just go off the side of your pc screen to use it on your laptop.

Your laptop most probably only has HDMI out. For it to work you need HDMI in.

I expect that this will be an HDMI output, not input.

Your laptop may have HDMI, but it can only be HDMI OUT, not IN. It cannot display images from another source.
