PS4/Laptop in airport security?

I am going to see my buddies in BC, Canada, I live in Alberta, Canada. So im not crossing the boarder or anything. but what should I take out of my suitcase when going through security?

The things that im bringing that im questioning is:

PS4

PS4 controllers

dvd's

Laptop

Some baked goods

None of this is carry on. It all goes under the plane. So which of these do I need to take out?

    Anyone who suggests that you put something both valuable and fragile like a laptop in checked luggage is an idiot. Checked bags are not handled with the greatest of care by luggage handlers loading and unloading them from planes so fragile contents are easily damaged in transit. You should really only take your laptop in carry on bags and you will have to take the laptop out when you go through security check. You do not have to take video game players out for security.

    None of it. You will not have the checked in luggage when you go through airport security.

    HOWEVER - I suggest that you take the laptop with you in your carry on bag. Theft from passenger bags does happen sometimes, and the airline will take <<no>> responsibility for anything that is lost. If the laptop is important to you, do not put it into checked baggage.

    If you choose to have it in your carry on, then you will need to take the laptop out of the bag when you get to the check point.

    PS4 and laptop needs to be removed. All else kept stowed in carry-on.
