Steam in home streaming live for everyone 
http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/21/steam-in-home-streaming/
This feature has been in beta for the longest time but now its finally available for everyone
works like this. 
You have your powerful gaming system and it plays the games. 
Then you connect another windows/mac/linux/steamOS machine on the network and sign into steam. 
From their you can stream the game to that system and play it. So you can play an intensive game on a underpowered laptop, or maybe stream it to your TV
