    hi there, i was just wondering...

    is there any way i could plug stuff to the notebook (like a ps3) to the notebook via the hdmi port and use the notebook screen?

    or is it only to attach monitors and TVs to the notebook?

    The HDMI port and VGA port on almost all laptops are either HDMI-out or VGA-out. So unfortunately you can NOT use the laptop screen to play games on a ps3 or 360.
