Weird Question

Yeah i know i have a decent desktop for playing games, but i have a lowish end laptop and good wifi around my house. I was wonder if there was like, a gaming website that you can stream the game to your laptop and play it? its hard to describe i guess, but i hope someone understands

how does that connect to a server to play games? i think a few years ago there was a service for people with lower end computers to be able to play high end games, by just streaming the game to their computer and be able to play

It's just streaming the display signal from your main PC to the laptop over your network

the gaming PC does all the calculations, and the laptop just decodes the siganl

Nope goes directly from your computer to your laptop, but it is highly recommended to have a wired connection.
