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?

Eh. It's a powerful machine. I personally would never want Mac, so I'm not going to assume she would either. The weight and optics are the only real difference between this and a beefy HP or Dell, neither are necessarily deal breakers. I rather like the small break in monotony by seeing a typically gaming laptop used in the court room.

Don't get me wrong, I like stuff like this. This is not a critique or trying to turn it into a political thing. Its simply unusual from all the trials I've watched. For lack of a better word, I find the whole thing "neat"
