I do the same thing, but it’s my home desktop. For me the big thing here isn’t about using your gaming computer for work it’s using it for work as a lawyer. There are two components to this: first law requires a degree of privacy and security that not having a separate computer for work demonstrates a habit of lack of security, second is that bringing an rgb laptop to a courtroom as a defense lawyer is akin to wearing jeans and a tshirt to court as a defense lawyer, it shouldn’t be a problem but judges tend to really not like that sort of thing and so it demonstrates a lack of professionalism in a job where professionalism impacts your performance
