Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Plot twist: She’s mining shitcoin with the courthouse electricity. She’s smart enough to know that’s the only paycheck she’s getting.
Judge: “Counsel, why is your laptop running so loudly?”
Lawyer: “It’s…uh…fuming at the witch hunt that my client has endured.”
I choose my facts carefully and this one is the one.
So, alright, in her defense, I have that particular laptop and a) it's not that heavy, b) at least the AMD versions can go up to 8-9 hours with the mux switch off, and c) it actually has a great typing keyboard. It is absolutely a kickass mobile workstation, especially if you need the performance to do other stuff like edit video (or game, obviously).
Now, would I have switched the RGB off during court proceedings? Yes, I would have switched the RGB off.
Don't turn off Ruth Gader Binsburg you jerk
Dont be silly. He's talking about the real good bussy.
Definitely don't turn that off
She knows it is serious boss battle mode so she needs that rgb for the extra performance boost.
Yeah I actually think this is really cool because buying this sort of laptop, you have to know a thing or two about computers and intentionally buy it. It's not a default choice, she had a reason to get this specific category of gaming laptop. She's probably a gamer with a watercooled rig at home, but as a lawyer is often on the go between clients, and she wants to get in on some sidequests and grinds whenever she can.
It's also possible that she just asked IT to buy her the fastest laptop they could find. I choose to believe that she's 4th ranked in the world in Destiny 2, though.
I'd bet my left but she has no idea it can be turned off let alone how to turn it off.
I've done some work for lawyers before in the it field and I would place a hefty bet of $10 that the reason that she has that laptop is that her old one broke down and she told her it guy to get her the most powerful laptop available.
Lawyers are not really known for being technologically savvy, same for doctors and teachers, but they often have a lot of money to burn for tax purposes every year.
This just screams "Rich-looking lady who knows fuck all about computers goes into shop to ask what laptop she needs to run Excel"
or... she's a gamer and she travels a lot
No, no. This is a female and females aren’t allowed to game.
Could also be that Asus knew a picture like this would come out, so gave her a free laptop to get the ROG brand in a prominent place.
prominent place in front of Trump's defense? That's probably bad publicity
I would hope if she was she would have a seperate not-gaming Laptop for work.
Would be more professional, but shes Trumps lawyer so I guess there is not much to expect in the way of professionalism.
What exactly is the problem here? What's wrong with using a gaming laptop for work?
Well either she is unneccesarily using a gaming Laptop for non-gaming.
Or she uses her private gaming laptop for work and doesnt separate between those two spheres, which is unprofessional and potentially dangerous in regards to privacy security.
unneccesarily using a gaming Laptop for non-gaming.
I don't see why this would be an issue, it's a computer after all.
Using her own machine for sensitive work like that, on the other hand, I do see the point. Unless there is some sort of dual boot setup involved.
She can write the laptop off her taxes.
Or maybe she knows exactly what she needs and decided to buy a ROG Laptop
If she was actually smart she wouldn’t be using a laptop for gaming. 👍
lawyers can frequently be required to travel or wait. IMO this makes sense, especially if you want to play something during down time.
Not everyone has the space for a dedicated nerd setup like you suburban twats do.
Exactly and she's a lawyer, so if she really wants to game at a serious level she needs a portable rig she can use between clients. She probably has a rig at her condo.
Sounds like a space management skill issue. Git gud.
I game on my Aorus laptop just fine. Runs recent releases very well, and it's nice to sit on the couch to play them.
Why gatekeep people for the things they enjoy? I mean, this is Trump's lawyer so I'm sure she's a shitty human, but still.
Lots of people use their "gaming" laptops as working stations. I barely use mine for playing, but I like to have a big screen with full keyboard and a nice GPU for my work, and something I can take with me if needed, for example for a long work trip. I also have a smaller laptop for things on the go.
Yeah but imagine she asks the Judge to a 1v1. That'd be a real gamer move
Exact opposite on either side of dumb. Ones got a fucking thinkpad the others about to own newbz in fortnite
But which one runs Linux?
That Thinkpad looks too new to run Linux. Your best bet for optimal support is a machine that's about 3 years old
Asus RoG laptops are so underestimated for productivity. The AMD chips have fantastic battery life and performance.
Recently set up an office on a couple of them, granted it was not this high end of a model but it’s stupid to ignore them for office use.
Also I guarantee she didn’t pick this. This was 100% advised to her by her companies IT group after she repeatedly said her computer was slow. It’ll run all the spyware she downloads with enough cores left over to run excel.
All the memes on youtube about Biden and trump playing video games together make sense now
Yo, Donald, thanks for the sub
The guy with a ThinkPad deserves massive props. Hell to the yeah for the ThinkPad gang
She's gonna grind that final judge.
