What's your budget? Does he need anything for his PC/setup right now?

 

 

A linearized Dell AT101 is a cheap but amazing keyboard, great addition to any setup.

He has a gaming laptop. budget depends on the product. for something like headphones, I am willing to go high. but for something like a mouse, I would go cheaper. so I just want ideas of types of gifts, not nessesarily the exact product.

could get something like a raspberry pi.   gives him tons of options to tinker.

not everybody wants to code even a little bit, but it depends what he likes

what coding?  doing projects with a raspberry pi doesnt instantly mean your writing your own javascript.

there are thousands of projects that can be setup in mere minutes, with no coding whatsoever.

 

apt-get and git clone is not coding.

App-get and git clone is still too much for a lot of people.  
 

One thought with a gaming laptop might be a hood.  Without the model it’s kind of hard, but a laptop screen hood can help prevent screen reflections and are often adjustable

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
