Re: Her choice

Otherwise;
That sort of depends on whether she sees a lappy as a desirable object or a way to get dull or simply essential jobs done.
If the latter, it's just a digital ironing board.
Come to that, I wouldn't buy an ironing board for daughter moving to her own place, either.
Vase maybe. Even kettle or microwave.
But a drudge tool - computer or ironing board. No.
And so, yes, in the sense that they are both drudgery tools they *are* in the same category.
It could be you were being ironic, I suppose.
(BTW after writing this I asked my undergraduate daughter, to check if I was right. And she said exactly what I exactly I'd expected. That they would both be on the list of things she'd need if she didn't already have them - but wouldn't want them as a regular gift.)
