Sure, but it's pretty obvious that his stream lagged out and skipped

Jojobut don't pretend that looking at the stv is more useful than your stream vod.
Except actually it is? The stream vod is missing a whole chunk due to his internet lagging out

tf2 doesn't use opengl at all on windows. -r_emulate_gl changes some settings, like slamming dxlevel between 90 and 92, disabling shader model 3.0, using a different image format for textures, disabling some optimizations for shaders, etc, but it's still using direct3d through and through
try mat_viewportscale 1. I have no idea why it's acting like that, but the scale of the part with the game is 71% of the total screen which just so happens to be the mat_viewportscale value that mastercomfig verylow sets, so I bet it's related to that somehow

Look at those nippers — impressive!
Perhaps you've already done this, but overclocking your ram to get the fastest clocks and tightest timings possible should help with tf2 somewhat. Overclocking your cpu to the fastest clock you can even if it requires disabling a core or two to keep temperatures in check would also be beneficial for tf2, but disabling cores would hurt you in other workloads.
Scheduling is another area where you could potentially improve performance, for instance by assigning processor affinities such that tf2 and steam use certain cores and all of your other processes run on different ones, but that seems kind of hit or miss from my experience.
If you have a spare drive laying around, you could also try tf2 on a fresh OS install just to make sure you haven't made any changes or are using any software on your main OS that's lowering your tf2 performance somehow from the performance your hardware should be getting.
At the end of the day though, tf2 is always going to perform comparably bad in crowded fights just because of how sequentially it does things, so there's only so much you can do.
This is pretty far fetched but depending on which lenovo laptop it is you could try clearing the nvram. These instructions work for mine, newer lenovo laptops might be different. Alternatively you can usually achieve the same thing by temporarily removing the cmos battery (and unplugging the AC adapter and main battery).
Some lenovo laptops also have features to reset stuff that involve holding the power button for something like 20 seconds, either with the battery and AC adapter plugged in or not plugged in or some combination. You could google if your particular model has anything like that.
Have you disabled/removed anything with 'ACPI' in device manager at any point?
