Is a Desktop Computer Beneficial for Someone with ADHD?

would a desktop computer be a good investment for someone with adhd? a lot of times i dont have the energy to even open my laptop, let alone a browser. is there basis for thinking that having a site open already would be beneficial?

It honestly depends, once I got my desktop I really prefer it over a laptop, but it goes into sleep mode after a few hours so you still have to wake it up

desktop computers do that too. You can tell your laptop to not go to sleep but you may have to keep it charging while you work

Honestly motivating myself from my bed to my desk is a hassle so idk if that's a good solution for adhd. I keep my laptop near my bed for that specific reason even though it's easier to work on my desktop.
