Can you connect the ps4 to a PC / laptop and play on it?

sp

Yes you have to download it from the internet under ps4 remote

Gl

No, as very few laptops or PCs also have an HDMI input. You'd need a capture card for that to work. Or you can buy a FullHD monitor right away, which would probably be cheaper.

kr

Yes, via remote play.

od

That's fine. But prefer to play right away on the pc

Thank you. I bought an acer aspire 5 today would that work with it?

Connect it directly to the PS4? No, probably not. But now it also depends on the exact laptop. There are several of the Acer Aspire 5 series. But as I said, only a few laptops have an HDMI input.

However, I would still recommend buying an extra monitor if you want to connect the console directly. Otherwise you can test it with the PS4 Remote (you need a reasonably fast and stable internet connection, because you then only stream the game from the PS4 to your laptop).
