I think it's most likely she just has a beefy computer, and rog makes them. The RGB lights have a default profile unless manually disabled. She may want the compute power but not know the nerdy settings that a computer nerd would know to turn them off. I think this is completely a non story.

They probably just wanted a powerful spec computer. That's what gamer laptops are for. They're actually not that expensive, probably just as expensive, or cheaper, then a Lenovo x1 carbon.

But also, literally who gives a fuck.

Of all the things I can criticize about Trump, the type of laptop his lawyer for this week is using is far down on that list.

Well, it's a ROG laptop, and they can go for north of $1000 USD fairly easily.

What I'm curious about is why does her law firm do byod? You'd want client files locked down with whole disk encryption - and probably domain joined. It's much more likely that you get a Thinkpad or Dell something.

I once worked for a company who had an accountant who used a gaming laptop. They didn't play games, but it was the only decent one they could get with a number pad.

So, hot take here, who cares what laptop she uses? Criticize her for the direct harm to democracy that she's doing, not the fucking rig she has. Some of y'all need to grow the fuck up.

Who cares? Like genuinely who cares? It's a chunky laptop. Big whoop.

Some of my requirements for a laptop are matte screen, backlit keyboard, and a properly centered trackpad. My choices were either a Macbook or a ROG without a numpad.

No you all are wrong, she is using a gaming laptop bcz it is the only thing that can run stable defusion on the go which she is going to use to generate false evidence for trump

I'm so happy this distraction tactic is working and everyone is talking about a goddamn laptop instead of the actual court case.

We have a gaming laptop at work, but there's a hand held 3d scanner attached to it and it builds the model as we scan. Only gaming laptops have a GPU good enough to do this.

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.

OMG who caaaaarrrrreeeessssss

Bringing a gamer laptop to court? Fucking based holy hell.

Nice having a big keyboard

I think it's judging not using the right tool for a job. Legal work is usually communication and looking through tons of documents over long hours. A gaming laptop has bad battery life and has a bunch of goofy drivers required to run them which can be a security risk.

Guaranteed she's an idiot who doesn't know the difference between a laptop and a desktop.

I've seen a bunch of different professionals with this kind of clunker on their desk.

They just have a bunch of arbitrary requirements and don't understand how any of it works.

All client data must be encrypted in state. No data can be transmitted over insecure networks even when encrypted. I need access to all client data at all times. I need a bigger screen, no definitely bigger than that. It's imperative that I have 256 consecutive browser tabs open simultaneously.

Or probably more importantly... I saw another defence lawyer from another firm with a bigger laptop than mine.

I don't care what kind of laptop it is. I do wonder why she doesn't turn off the rgb. That's weird and I could see it being seen as not professional due to it being a distraction during the proceedings.

The man hired one of the most beautiful people I've seen and put a gaming laptop in front of her. I feel like it's a distraction tactic. Also why do evil people get to be beautiful?
