It doesn't. Laptop video ports are outies, not innies.

This may be an option (never tried it) http/www.avatron.com/apps/air-display/
or this: http/www.maxivista.com/how-to-use-laptop-as-monitor.htm

Neither are free.

It is possible as long as both laptops are on the same network (which should be the case for most home users and offices. I never tried it out for myself though. There are two option that I know of:

Maxivista software for $40, but there is a trial version.

ZoneOS ZoneScreen is free, but you probably have fumble around to get it working.

EDIT::

Looks like Maxivista was already recommended when I stepped away...
