depends
you mean run 360 games on your laptop? No.
use your laptop's screen to play on? Only if your laptop supports vga in

Just because your laptop has a vga port on it doesn' t mean it accepts input.  Chances are it's only for output and you will not see your 360 actually display on the laptop screen.

You could always get a usb tv tuner.  Kills the quality, but turns any comp into a tv for tv shows or gaming.

This question has been asked many times before, and as stated aleady it will not work unless you have a vga IN; of which you more then likely do not have.
