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.”
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.
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.

User comment : But I restart it every night?!
Today when I walked into the Trump case court I saw something I dread every time I close my eyes. A lawyer had brought their new gaming laptop to courtroom. The Forklift she used to bring it was still running idle at the back. I started sweating as I sat down and gazed over at the 700lb beast that was her laptop. She had already reinforced his desk with steel support beams and was in the process of finding an outlet for a power cable thicker than Amy Schumer’s thigh. I start shaking. I keep telling myself I’m going to be alright and that there’s nothing to worry about. She somehow finds a fucking outlet. Tears are running down my cheeks as I send my last texts to my family saying I love them. The judge enters, and the lawyer turns her laptop on. The colored lights on her RGB Backlit keyboard flare to life like a nuclear flash, and a deep humming fills my ears and shakes my very soul. The entire city power grid goes dark. The courtroom begins to shake as the massive fans begin to spin. In mere seconds my world has gone from vibrant life, to a dark, earth shattering void where my body is getting torn apart by the 150mph gale force winds and the 500 decibel groan of the cooling fans. As my body finally surrenders, I weep, as my court and my city go under. I fucking hate gaming laptops.
This just screams “Rich-looking lady who knows fuck all about computers goes into shop to ask what laptop she needs to run Excel”
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?
Or maybe she knows exactly what she needs and decided to buy a ROG Laptop
Possibly, I guess some of us just never seen a lawyer w a gaming laptop. I thought people in those suit wearing professions either use MacBooks or ThinkPads.
If she was actually smart she wouldn’t be using a laptop for gaming. 👍
Not everyone has the space for a dedicated nerd setup like you suburban twats do.
I once lived in a 150 sq ft. motel room, and I still managed to set up a desk with a dual monitor gaming desktop at the foot of my bed. It can be doable in a small space.
Oof how’s your back doing? Pretty sure makeshift desks are at least partially to blame for my back borking out lol
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.
My Boomer dad bought a ridiculously expensive gaming laptop because he “wanted the best computer” and still believes that more expensive = better. He uses it to surf the internet…🤦
Steam deck runs everything that I’d want to play on it locally, way better than remote streaming. It’s punching way above it’s weight class. I’m almost done with elden ring on it and I’ll be moving to cyberpunk 2.0 if it’s as good as people are saying
Steam deck doesn’t have as much horsepower as a modern gaming laptop does it? It’s just very well preforming for the price?
