Answer:
Don't know what you mean by a portable PC, so I'm assuming you mean a little box with with connections for keyboard, mouse, and monitor. You can't use a laptop's screen as a computer monitor. Laptop screens connect directly to the laptop motherboard, usually with a ribbon cable. On the motherboard is a 'driver' chip which matches the particular LCD panel used by your laptop. There is not a way to connect an outside video source to a laptop's LCD panel, it is only accessible through the motherboard circuitry. Now, it is possible to turn a laptop LCD panel into a monitor by building a circuit which matches the LCD panel to a VGA/VESA interface, that's what LCD panel computer monitors are. But, that's beyond the scope of a forum like this and it will be cheaper to just find a good deal on suitable computer monitor.
