If youre up for it, you could stream off of your home desktop with Sunshine and use the laptop just as a light-weight client. Then the requirements for the laptop are a lot less and could potentially play even better games.
I played dota on my old laptop at a friends house while it actually streamed from my home desktop and it worked fine. I dont remember if you need a domain or static IP or anything like that, which may be a barrier. Or if upload speeds just wont allow it
He could even keep his current laptop with this arrangement. Less e-waste. (unless it's already dead, but for programming I still use a 12 year old vaio that got a second life when ditching windows)
Just use Tailscale or something to try it out!
Sunshine on the desktop, moonlight on the client side. You can even stream games to your phone or a tablet of you're feeling frisky.
