I have a laptop and a desktop computer. I am tired of having two different machines. When I am away from home I would like to use my laptop as if it were my home computer.
I do a lot of game development (C#/C++) so the solution would need to be capable of showing direct3d. It does not need to be real-time just fast enough to be interactive (hopefully > 5fps).
Also, my laptop is a MacBook pro however I do run Windows on it as well as OS X and VMware fusion.
I want to remove the laptop form the equation. I want to use my home desktop computer from my laptop. (Laptop < Desktop when it comes to speed and hdd space) – arriu – 2009-10-29T22:04:23.823
1so basically you want to use the laptop as a go-between between yourself and your desktop computer.
Any remote desktop software will do that for you, I've had little experience so I can't offer too much of a comment but I think VNC will do the job you're after.
The bottleneck will be your network connection more than anything but it should be alright around the house – djhworld – 2009-10-29T22:09:33.487
It is not true that any solution will work. I have used remote desktop solutions which do not even attempt to send any windows which are using the graphics device. However, I will look into VNC – arriu – 2009-10-29T22:11:57.223
