Hi,
I'm looking for a low cost, Linux-based (which I'll install myself), notebook/laptop, capable of playing Full HD movies for extended periods without overheating ONLY on an external 47" 16:9 LCD TV connected to the notebook via an HDMI cable.

Please note that:

    I do NOT need full HD support from the internal notebook screen, just the external one.
    I do not intend to play games on that notebook.
    While playing movies, the notebook does not have to simultaneously support additional tasks (except for OS & graphic environment)
    I prefer a "budget" solution, thus no problem with old (2012 or later) chip/chipsets, and ready to use AMD of better cost/performance.
    I do not need specific models/brands, just "core hardware specs"- e.g., GPU (if separate), Chip set, CPU/number of cores/threads, amount of RAM.

Thanks a lot up front!
