Comments on Trump lawyer Alina Habba's use of "gaming laptop" (lemmy.world)

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?

You’re not wrong, legal software doesn’t require special hardware to run, but when your PDF editor with its document management system plugin no longer displays more than 2 pages when viewing them in outlook’s attachment preview and it’s seemingly related to dpi and the monitor, it’s helpful if you are using hardware that is used by many other law firms with a similar combination of hardware and software.

Anyone in legal IT, or even other lawyers, would laugh at you for using a gaming laptop.
