thank you for the recommendations. I’m fine with swapping OS’s so even just compatible would work. The world seems awash in a million diffrrent laptops so it is a bit overwhelming!

Gonna just list the ones that really jumped out to me:
Event Horizon; Bladerunner & Bladerunner 2049; Pacific Rim; Johnny Mnemonic; Stalker; Solaris (1972); Robocop; Starship Troopers; Dredd; Tetsuo the Iron Man; Crimes of the Future; Pandorum; Fifth Element; Southland Tales

Plex is great if you want to pay for features and need a media server/streaming platform hybrid
