1) an HDMI cable for your computer and a hard drive full of movies and TV shows. If you have Netflix or something similar the hard drive will be a little less necessary, just as long as you have some entertainment that isn't the overpriced hotel pay-per-view.
2) a bag of your favorite coffee. Most upscale hotels will usually have something nice, Starbucks etc., but if their coffee isn't up to your standards it's nice to have some that you know will be.
3) a bottle of your painkiller of choice. Store brand ibuprofen is what I usually use, but whatever you think works best for a headache or some muscle pain.

Also, if you're traveling for work, and happen to find yourself at a trade show, you can likely find mini chargers for free. That's how I got two of mine. I rarely use them, so I can't attest to how long they last. Try grabbing a couple if your wary.

I bring my android box full of movies so I don't have to apy for hotel ones.

Bring your PC tower and an HDMI cable to connect to their TV in the room. Don't forget the keyboard and mouse.

Just get a Mini-ITX case/motherboard or even a small Micro-ATX setup, and you'll be good to go. You should be able to make it small enough to fit in a backpack or briefcase.

A few things that I always pack:
A couple of plastic carrier bags, for keeping your dirty laundry separate from your clean clothes.
An iPad with a sturdy case. Small, light, does everything you'll need on the road. Trip advisor app is very useful for finding a decent place to eat. Don't forget your charger, either.
Some granola bars or the like. I've never once had a good breakfast in a hotel.
Noise cancelling headphones. Helpful if you get stuck with noisy neighbours / a room on a busy corridor, and they're great to have on flights.
