Hi guys,
Does anyone know if there is any solution to have 23" 2017 iMac as a second display of a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop? My imac has 2 thunderbolt ports and laptop has hdmi, usb-c.
Is this possible?

thanks

What you are describing is called 'Target Display Mode', and is not possible on modern iMac systems. Apple has more information on the topic and the models which support it here --> https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204592
