I guess I'd only use a mini laptop for reading my feedreader and surfing the various sites I go through. To be honest that's mainly what I do at night or would want to do with it.

Technically you could use sumit like VNC to control your laptop using the Q1, but I did see lots of screens which will work like what you want, simply connecting to another pc.

What might be an idea is a wireless projector server, this will transmit the screen to another device, wirelessly – but you would need a second screen and then 2 plugs, would be useful for perhaps like a terminal downstairs, but not ideal unless you have a trolley and an extension lead for outside!
