if the base of the laptop works fine, then the answer is yes you can use it with a monitor. The monitor depends on available ports. Thanks

yup.

it does have an hdmi output on the side

no you cannot use your laptop as a second monitor.

output is output, need an input to use the laptop as monitor.

oh right, you cant use it as an extra monitor. However you can use it to simply mirror your screen (make a larger desktop technically)
