I have an Dell inspiron 3480 AiO and I would like to connect it to a laptop or tower and use the Dell AiO just like a screen. Possible?
I need to know if there is possibility for input video from other sources through HDMI or another way. Thank you

No. The HDMI port on this model is an output only.

There are some HDMI(output)>USB(input) "capture" cards that take the HDMI output signal from a source (eg a DSLR, webcam, PC, etc) and convert it into a USB signal so a PC (typically a laptop) can be used as a monitor...
I have no idea if the Inspiron 3480 AIO can accept a video input signal via a USB port
These cards aren't as common as those that take video signal output from a PC via a USB port and convert it to HDMI input for a monitor. So shop carefully to make sure you get one that works in the "right" direction...
