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.
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.
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?!
RoG laptops are legendary for quality, I don't blame her for having one.
Let's not go nuts here, either. ASUS software is genuine garbage and there are lots of bad polish details all over the place.
But they make pretty weird, nutty choices that are often unique and cool, so I sometimes put up with their nonsense just for that.
Is it the RoG Strix by any chance?
Yeah, it's actually the same one I got for college
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.
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.
She can write the laptop off her taxes.
A lady gamer. What nonsense.
Show me on this doll where the gaming laptop hurt you
See, this person gets it.
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 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.
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.
I usually get the last generation of slimmest gaming laptop because they easily cover any game I'd play at a LAN party and can handle media creation and rendering.
This makes no sense in the modern age where we have products like the Steam Deck prove form factor and quality are both achievable
If she uses one computer for work and entertainment, and has to have a laptop for work, then she is smart to have a single machine capable of everything she needs.
💯 she got it for the RGB
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...🤦

Would you rather remote in to your desktop from a steam deck?
I’m guessing she travels a lot.
I think it suggests there's a game she can't go without, and she went out of her way to get a heavy af laptop with shit battery life, just so she could be able to play this game whenever she had time between her lawyer duties.
He probably also doesn't want to need glasses in court so he has the biggest screen so each sentence can be in font size 48 and still fit on one screen.
More than likely there isn't anything on the screen unless the lawyers put something on for him to say which he will ignore anyways.
He's functionally illiterate. There's video of an old deposition of him from before he was President where he's asked to read some materials and his lawyer keeps trying to put a stop to it because it's clear he basically can't read.
They put cartoons on it for him so he’d sit still and eat his peas.
That's strange, because it makes his tiny hands look even smaller!
It's probably not even on. Or his screensaver is up.
They also knew they shouldn't give him a keyboard because he'd crash that thing in no time while bragging about how much he knows about IT and all the FANG tech leads who told him how knowledgeable he is.
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
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
I'm not annoyed at this one. Republic of Gaming and Gaming Laptop are two chunks. ROG is the brand. Gaming Laptop is the product
I paid for it with the money I got from the ATM machine.
It reads "Asus ROG" "gaming laptop", not "Asus ROG Gaming" "laptop".
She's gonna grind that final judge.
ROG? Or maybe ROC? 🇹🇼
