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.
