  My wife's laptop is also a 17" one. We bought one with a bigger, wider
screen for making photo albums and other photo stuff. Now the laptop is
a 'desktop', because this one also had (past tense) display problems. So
now it has a big(ger) screen (22") and seperate keyboard and mouse. The
laptop sits in the drawer of a small desk. So basically your wife and
mine have similar setups.

  Her laptop/desktop is also getting very/too slow, so I will probably
bite the bullet and get her a new 'desktop' (Mini-PC).

  Our oldest grandkid is 'only' 20. And I've probably said it before: I
don't donate old stuff to my (grand)kids. If anything, it's the other
way around! (Just kidding.)
