You don't even need a laptop for all of this, you can use your phone.

I stream games with it all the time.

My phone doesn't have HDMI, I don't know how to share the screen with my TV. Plus I have an USB drive with a lot of movies attached to the computer.

You can plug one of these things into the USB-C port of your phone and it basically turns it into a little PC.

Edit: My phone is old and was cheap, so I use an active USB-C to Hdmi converter.

This looks like it costs more than my old laptop, which I saved from becoming e-waste. But I tend to forget we're already living in the future and hubs like this exists. So, thanks for reminding me, I'll look into it. :)
