Connect an Xbox 360 (the old one) to a laptop's monitor?


How Can I connect an xbox 360 so that I can play it using my laptop's monitor? The laptop is a toshiba tablet with what seems like no video in connectors. I would like to take an old xbox and make it so it will run with my laptop instead of having to run on a seperate tv. Is this possible?

No inputs, no luck. Laptops are often like this as the monitors don't detach.

You could get a USB TV dongle and run the xbox through that I think.
As an example http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/site/products/data_hvr900.html (Now includes audio/video input cable to record analogue video sources such as VCRs, Camcorders, satellite TV boxes, etc. S-Video and composite video, too!)
