Yes, you can use https://www.adafruit.com/product/2264 to connect the I2CV camera board to the USB on your laptop.

Re: mlx90640 thermal camera
Hello. Hobbyist customer here.
Please be aware that the MLX90640 breakout board isn't a camera. It doesn't generate an image. It produces an array of numbers based on radiant heat detected by the sensor. At some pont a computer program has to convert those numbers into pixel colors and send them to a display. If you search Github.com for a MLX90640 project from SparkFun, it contains a sketch in Processing that creates a live image on the computer screen. It was the starting point for my little tutorial. Hope this helps.
Hallelujah!
