Choosing a laptop to mirror to TV

[Beevee123]

I need a laptop for projecting movies onto my Samsung 4k Smart Tv by connection with an HMDI cable. It would not be used for travel.
I don't want to play games or do anything other than the above.
Speed would be an advantage but not essential as I only have a budget of $400 CAD.
Am I being realistic?

Beevee,
Why a laptop and not a desktop?
There are a lot of used video cards that handle 4k you can get on the cheap.
My gaming PC doubles as a Home theater sits next to the TV just like the 4K dvd player.
Please see previous thread on this subject.

Which is the best budget 4k laptop currently?

Integrated graphic card is just fine, i dont want a gaming laptop cuz i only want to watch Ultra HD 4k videos on it, which is the cheap and best currently on the market?

Why use a laptop for this? You can use a cheaper HDMI Android dongle, ROKU, Amazon Firestick, etc.. to play movies on the TV for $100 or less.
Are you looking to play disks or only streaming or computer media files? Need some specifics.

A lot of options, if you are not going to use the system as a laptop, no need to get a laptop.
