You mean play XBOX 360 games on the laptop? No.
You mean use the laptop as a TV screen for the XBOX 360? Not without a TV tuner, and even then performance might not be good (input lag).
There are a few ways to use the screen. A TV card used to be the defacto way but often times its not so great due lag. TV cards are not made to give you instant display of the data going into it and it gets transcoded on the spot usually by the cpu so slower computers were worse at it than faster ones.
Out from the norm some products that were devoted to this cause did arrise though. The most popular one was probably the Adaptec Gamebridge. It worked perfectly, it was cheap, and it had no lag.
Problem is that its no longer in production or supported. So it does not work on x64 systems and probably not on Windows 7. Also when it was in production systems were SD only and it can only handle SD resolutions.
Finding a tuner card or capture device for HD is way harder and way more expensive.
However they do exist.
Your best bet is to look for a capture device rather than a tuner card. It is going to probably cost you less and have less stuff involved on the device increasing the chance for a lag free situation.
The modern version of the Adaptec Gamebridge is the EasyCap product. It works well but its only SD resolution.
As you see its for a computer with pci-express. You probably wont find any "laptop" hd capture stuff due to the USB interface possibly not being fast enough.
You may find a express card slot tuner card though but again it will probably lag.
