Lappies with VGA inputs

Guys..

I've been looking for a lappy with VGA INPUTS .. The reason is this..

I have an Xbox, and have a HD adapter that can use the higher resolutions of a PC monitor screen to give HDTV quality visuals.. So, I want to use the screen of my lappy, if at all possible.

So, are there any laptops with VGA inputs?? Or is there a workaround like an external video card?? All the laptops I've come across so far only had VGA ouputs.. no VGA inputs !! I would also be interested in an S-Video input.

Thanks a million in advance, for any suggestions.

The 8890 and the 4780 both have S-Video In.

Sorry to bump this old thread, but it's an interesting topic. VGA-in is a nice feature and I would think that there would be a notebook out there that supports it?

a video capture card (external for notebooks obviously, or internal/external for desktops) will give you at least composite (RCA) inputs, some even s-video input, vga inputs are very hard to come by, but the composite or s-video will allow you to connect your xbox (or PS2, or gamecube, or dvd player, vcr, etc.)
