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?

    Trial lawyers often work with fairly large datasets and some specialized applications. There’s a ton of discovery materials for a case like this one and it’s all indexed and searchable. They will have deposition transcripts that need to be searchable so they can check them while a witness is on the stand. They will also be running presentations and playing weird video formats. They usually need a good CPU and a nice chunk of RAM because the last thing they need is a laggy computer in court when everyone is watching.

      not to mention she might just have any sort of computer related hobby which requires some amount of power. not just gaming but any kind of demanding software or locally hosted AI or something of the sort. Saw someone elsewhere in the thread suggest she just asked the guy at best buy or listened to a gamer nephew’s advice as if a woman can’t decide to get a high-spec computer for her own reasons

        Or can’t understand anything about computers.

        It’s thinly veiled misogyny

          If you’re in IT, you know most people don’t know anything about computers.

          But then again, if you’re not in IT, you “know” how “incelar” (haha get it?) most IT people can be.

      Like the case with blue origins recently, I remember something like a trial being postpone because the PDFs they sent were so big that the court system would crash.
