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
Where was the laptop on January 6th??
Ashley Babbitt was a gurl gamer and the Secret Service had aimbot, why is no one talking about this?!???
Oh God! I bought an Asus transformer tablet back in 2013! Am I gonna have to defend Trump?!?!
No, you've been hurt enough.
No publicity is bad publicity.
And you should question why aint she in the kitchen making pies and babies! /s
Yeah I wasn’t thinking that women can’t game, my thought is that lawyers can’t game
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.
If she bought a gaming laptop specifically for work (this is the way you end up with a gaming laptop that’s not also your personal laptop) then it’s a silly, unnecessary, ill suited decision. There are other laptops with better battery life, cheaper, lighter, etc etc etc…. That fit the lawyer usecase better. Why would a lawyer buy a gaming laptop to lawyer?
IANAL but I don’t think you need discrete graphics for lawyer applications. But who knows, maybe she’s running an ML model locally to tell her what to do.
This lawyer might make lots of graphs oror presentations where a nice graphics card is useful, or the lawyer trusts the brand and bought the laptop she wanted.
Unless she’s making ray-traced 3-d renderings of crime scenes, she’s doesn’t need a dGPU. If those are being made at all, they’d be coming from a SME.
‘Trusted brand’ I could buy, but then it’s still a bad choice because of this very conversation it’s sparked… it’s a distraction from her professional abilities.
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?
Security issues. It's standard security policy for most companies to separate private and work.
So have a drive for work and one for play. Bill the laptop to work but spec it for what you want at home.
Not even that. She could be dual booting windows with windows on two separate encrypted partitions. There's going to be someone at work who knows how to set it up.
And why can't she know how to set that up if she chooses? Because she's a girl? You people are gross. If you want to criticize her for something, let it be for representing Trump in the first place.
Nothing to do with their sexual identity or gender. It's the fact that the average person doesn't know how to do it. Most people working in a company stuff have IT that sets things up for them. If they can do it themselves, then hell, that's great and I'm happy for them. But I wouldn't assume anything because of someone's gender or sexual identity. I think that's silly.
Battery life propably
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
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.
I don't really see too many ThinkPads tbh. I wish there were more representation for them
