[SOLVED] Archlinux laptop use storage less computer. how?

Hello, I have a arch linux leptop and see here:

The screen was broken so I used it for educational purposes.

I think it's a shame that it just lies in the corner without any further purpose.

Then I had the idea: what if I just connect it to my laptop and use the resources of both?

But I'm too stupid to realize it.

Do you have the knowledge how I can realize this effectively?

I don't even have the knowledge to realize what you're trying to achieve here.
The photo shows what looks like a completely stripped notebook MoBo attached to a battery (that's hopefully not charged) on a bedsheet.
What do you want to do with that? How do you want to connect that to your notebook and what resources do you hope to use??
(Afaict there's no CPU, GPU or RAM, no wifi, nothing)

If it is simply "storage-less" and not just a mainboard, you may have some luck setting it up as a diskless system: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Diskless_system

Mod note: Not an Arch discussion, moving to laptop issues for lack of a better place.
