Hi Gary,
Welcome to the community.
I would like to inform you that both VGA and HDMI ports on the system are TV out connection. So you can connect an external display like monitor or projector to this system.
However, you won't be able to use this system as display only for a different system or laptop.
So, it would not be possible to get the display of the laptop on this system. If you have any further queries, please feel free to contact us.
Thanks and Regards
Sandeep P
