Presuming you just want another screen to run a browser, what about sharemouse? I used something like it back in the day. It allows you to use one keyboard and mouse across multiple computers.

Bit late, but just to wrap the point up.

No. I'm after another display for the laptops so I have two screens like I used to at work.
There are loads in the office I can get, but that's;
- a cable running to the laptop,
- a cable running to the power and
- a massive hard to relocate stand and screen
Whereas an old laptop can just be put away in the evening and weekend. Or even (and more likely) closed and put under another laptop.
Basically I don't need a 2nd screen enough to justify fucking up our dining room any more than WFH and a toddler already have.

Cheers.
As I said it was really just a way to see if we could use old laptops to make free putawayable 2nd screens.
