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
Oh God! I bought an Asus transformer tablet back in 2013! Am I gonna have to defend Trump?!?!

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.

nothing (besides a waste) unless it means you are using your work laptop to game.
There are plenty of reasons besides gaming to have a laptop with a dedicated GPU. There isn’t really many low end professional options, they start over $2k. 3D modelling, video rendering, ML and a bunch of other professional uses are significantly improved with dedicated hardware.
Who knows, maybe she’s running LLaMA on it locally so no one catches her using AI to write her rebuttals.
unless it means you are using your work laptop to game.
Why is this a bad thing? Why would you have separate computers, when you can have one good one?

She can write the laptop off her taxes.
A lady gamer. What nonsense.
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.
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.

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.
This makes no sense in the modern age where we have products like the Steam Deck prove form factor and quality are both achievable

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
I think they sell new thinkpads that come preinstalled with Ubuntu
Yes.

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.
