best software to extend monitor to my windows 8 x64 tablet hybrid

[holden j caufield]

Hi I have main laptop and small convertible laptop that would like to use as 2nd monitor sometimes. What's the best program to achieve this.

edit: if there is some program for android, ubuntu etc I can load that as a vm on my tablet and use some android software to extend the desktop.

Are you wanting to send output from the main computer to the secondary, or just be able to access both systems with one mouse/keyboard?

If the first, that depends entirely on whether the hardware for the convertible allows it. I haven't ever heard of one that does.

If you want to just use the same mouse/keyboard to control both as if they were both one machine, this works fairly well: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35460

thanks that's interesting and I'm sure i can use that program for something else. I'm looking to extend my desktop to the small tablet.
