Enable sshd, and use your laptop as a terminal over the network.
I prefer PuTTY, but there are others.

One can even set up the laptop as an X terminal, so all that beautiful
GUIness doesn't go to waste.

This is completely standard. I missed the part about using the laptop as
a monitor. If it was just for a keyboard, that would be a waste, one can
now get keyboards complete with touchpads in them. I paid two dollars for
one last year at a garage sale, it looks like a laptop keyboard, but in a
case. Plugged it into my Linux computer, and it ran without any
configuring needed.
