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?

Actually, dell and Lenovo charge a large enterprise tax.

It's typically cheaper to buy a gaming laptop vs a similarly specced "enterprise" laptop.

There is little difference between them, other than "enterprise drivers" (which are just signed drivers) and some virtualization differences. Neither of which are required for a lawyer.

But sure, I bet a law firm has some nephew picking laptops and doesn't just allocate out laptops
