Dual plus a non-piece of **** graphics card should be fine for just watching videos.
Hooking up to TVs should work, again, as long as the video card isnt a piece of ****.

It's not $6000, but Quads as of now are only found in high-end laptops, and usually bump up the cost of the laptop by 400+ bucks.

On the whole, it's kind of useless in a laptop.
