Can you connect a mouse and keyboard to a laptop?

What you will need to set up your laptop to function as a desktop are an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. This is easy to accomplish with the technology we have today.

Does connecting monitor slow down laptop?
The short answer: a monitor should show games at the same frame rate as the laptop’s internal screen. If the monitor you’re connecting to has a higher resolution than your laptop screen and you run the game at that higher resolution, then your performance could drop.
Why does my wireless mouse work but not my wireless keyboard?
Sometimes the receiver gets out of sync with the wireless devices, causing them to stop working. Resyncing the setup is fairly easy. There is usually a Connect button somewhere on the USB receiver. Then press the Connect button on the keyboard and/or mouse and the flashing light on the USB receiver should stop.
