You’d want a Lenovo think pad or dell. They are enterprise-grade, with enterprise support and enterprise software.
The legal industry is almost 100% Lenovo/dell/hp. All legal software runs on them, and the legal it industry collaborates on issues,testing.
Lenovo and dell can spec an enterprise laptop that would be just as good if not better than what’s on that desk.
This screams “buy me the most expensive laptop you can” but they were talking to their nephew who “knows computers”
What a clown show.
Actually, dell and Lenovo charge a large enterprise tax.
It's typically cheaper to buy a gaming laptop vs a similarly specced "enterprise" laptop.
There is little difference between them, other than "enterprise drivers" (which are just signed drivers) and some virtualization differences. Neither of which are required for a lawyer.
But sure, I bet a law firm has some nephew picking laptops and doesn't just allocate out laptops
