First of all, this is not criticising or taking a cheap shot or really political at all. I am fascinated that a lawyer uses/brings a gaming laptop to trial and I can't help but think it was contrived as another distraction.

What do y'all think? BTW, how expensive are they generally?

You think she plays League?

This. I have two laptops that I use daily; they're both 15", but the main difference is that one is for work, while the other is for personal stuff (Columbian fart porn, obviously).

The work laptop is not only of a much more practical weight for when I'm out and about for work-related purposes, but it's also encrypted, on a domain where everything is SSO, and if it gets lost/stolen I can phone up a coworker to have him wipe it. It's a dell latitude 4something.

Of course, my other laptop could have the same setup, but the fact that it's a gaming laptop makes it considerably heavier, more power hungry, and not even close to practical to haul around all the time.

Is Columbian different from Brazilian? Asking for a friend.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

The difference is in the waxing.

Yes because Columbia is usually found in the US while Brazil is in Latin America.
