I wasn't sure how to word the subject but what I am wanting to do is use a xbox controller/wireless and my laptop hooked up to a 65in 4k TV I purchased yesterday to play steam games and Elder Scrolls online. What I am needing is a laptop stand that is affordable and sturdy. I also need a wireless mouse/touchpad combo and I can't seem to find one, at least that I think would be response for browsing games. I know this isn't ideal, however my laptop is much more powerful then a ps4/xb1 and about on par with an xbox one s. So I see no need to get a console, yet.
Thanks. I'm thinking of this is my lazy set up haha....in bed (as my apartment is small and the living room isn't a good place to game with company) anywho this is probably an odd request thread for help but i could use it.

And by the way, a console would really beat most laptops. Grab an Xbox Series X or S and stop gaming on a laptop that gets extremely hot no matter what you do. I can assure you the Series S will definitely beat your laptop.

Is there a reason to choose a laptop when you're merely using it as a console? Wouldn't it be better to opt for a compact desktop instead?
