Comments on Trump lawyer Alina Habba's use of "gaming laptop"
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.
I don’t care what kind of laptop it is. I do wonder why she doesn’t turn off the rgb. That’s weird and I could see it being seen as not professional due to it being a distraction during the proceedings.
We have a gaming laptop at work, but there’s a hand held 3d scanner attached to it and it builds the model as we scan. Only gaming laptops have a GPU good enough to do this.
Solidworks is single threaded ancient software. It only cares about clock speed. Runs just as well on a gaming handheld as it does on a desktop computer.
No you all are wrong, she is using a gaming laptop bcz it is the only thing that can run stable defusion on the go which she is going to use to generate false evidence for trump
Some of my requirements for a laptop are matte screen, backlit keyboard, and a properly centered trackpad. My choices were either a Macbook or a ROG without a numpad.
I once worked for a company who had an accountant who used a gaming laptop. They didn’t play games, but it was the only decent one they could get with a number pad.
The administrative offices in my little bro’s college also use HP Omen laptops for some reason. It was a treat watching boomers one-finger-type on RGB keyboards 😂
They probably just wanted a powerful spec computer. That’s what gamer laptops are for. They’re actually not that expensive, probably just as expensive, or cheaper, then a Lenovo x1 carbon.
So, hot take here, who cares what laptop she uses? Criticize her for the direct harm to democracy that she’s doing, not the fucking rig she has. Some of y’all need to grow the fuck up.
Again, the tenor of this post might be getting away from us here. This is a novel/neat thing to see since I’ve never seen anything like it in a courtroom at trial.
There’s zero moral or whatever judgement. I find it amusing and harmless and more of a conversation piece than having any implicit commentary.
I doubt any legal software requires enterprise hardware to run. You tend to go through those companies because they have the support structure setup for enterprises, otherwise the majority of what people do on their computers is pretty hardware agnostic, especially with how much is web based these days.
Also with the shortages over the past couple years just getting any laptop matters more in many cases than getting a specific laptop. At the same time, at least learn to turn off the RGB for a business environment.
If dell is the bar for enterprise grade then that’s not saying much. Everything I’ve seen from them in the last decade has been total ass. I’m using a 10 year old port replicator at work because I can’t run 3 monitors off my laptop with any of their newer shit.
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
Nah, I totally get it. If I was ever in that situation, I would be extremely tempted doomed to be sporting one of those British bleached powder white wigs.
