I used to have a personal laptop in the 2000s exactly for mindless web surfing in front of the TV. My mobile phone has now taken over that function though. So I just have a desktop for doing work and creative things and have never personally bought a laptop again (I do have a work supplied one). Also with multi-monitor set-ups now being inexpensive and all TV is available by streaming it's now reasonable to assign some screen space to watching TV on a desktop. So I spend less time on the couch.
