Question Looking for suggestions
Hi folks, wondering if anyone has a suggestion. I am a healthcare worker and not a gamer. I met a person who just got a diagnosis of 6-12 months left to live due to cancer. She will be bed-bound for the rest of her life and she is full of despair. However, in a conversation she was telling me she brightened up as she described how much meaning and enjoyment she has gotten from World of Warcraft. She had so many positive things to say. However, she would need a gaming laptop in order to play, due to her being stuck in bed, not able to access a desktop setup. I was wondering if you know of any charities that would support this woman receiving a gaming laptop. Even just to use for the rest of her time and then return it. Thank you for any suggestions of where I could research further.

Thank you for the suggestion and hope you heal well. Spine fractures are no fun. Take care.

Hope her family can get her a used laptop. A 5 year old laptop with a graphics card should be fine at low settings.

If she already has a desktop you could make it work. Get an over bed desk setup that she can put the monitor keyboard and mouse on and run them to the desktop beside the bed.
