Not a direct solution, but you could play wow on your desktop and interface with things from your laptop. I'm assuming that you're only going to be part time multiboxing in your living room. ie you won't be trying to eke every bit of performance out of your team and are ok with a more casual/less precise level of control.

There would be additional latency with whatever remote access software you choose, but it wouldn't require any hardware changes.

Are you talking about running remote desktop or teamviewer type software? I have tried those in the past and found them pretty clunky, have they improved a lot? My laptop only has wifi, so I would think that would cause it to be quite slow.

That is what I was referencing. I have not used them in the context of directly interacting while playing games. I would not expect them to hold up for cutting edge type play (pushing mythics of hard enough keys). I would expect them to work quite fine for housekeeping and general play. Things like world quests/leveling/professions/mission tables/etc. Given that you're looking to do things in your living room while otherwise entertained, I was assuming that the activities you were looking to do fell more into the latter category than the former.

As another alternate solution, would it be easier to just move your television (or a television) to your gaming computer or your gaming computer to your television?

My wife would not accept moving a gaming computer to the same room as the TV

I have used it to stream my home desktop to a windows laptop at work via a 4G wireless network. Not optimal for FPS games or stuff that requires high levels of "twitch" but a pretty solid experience for MMO's, MOBA's and so on.

Ahh, so it's not so much that you want to watch television/do other things while boxing, but you want to be in the same room as your wife. Quite understandable. It invalidates my assumption that you wouldn't have your full focus on boxing due to outside items and potential willingness to slightly degrade performance to achieve convenience.

Edit: Although her presence may make the assumption still hold.
