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?
I feel like if I was a lawyer, I would definitely want like the the most specced-out Macbook Air or Pro. The prosecutors/gov lawywrs prolly have to deal with whatever the government issues but you’d think on the defense side they’d be a bit more predictable in terms of wanting the lightest/most powerful (not looking to get in a Windows/Mac/Linux pissing match here) but having a balance between the two.
Eh. It’s a powerful machine. I personally would never want Mac, so I’m not going to assume she would either. The weight and optics are the only real difference between this and a beefy HP or Dell, neither are necessarily deal breakers. I rather like the small break in monotony by seeing a typically gaming laptop used in the court room.
Don’t get me wrong, I like stuff like this. This is not a critique or trying to turn it into a political thing. Its simply unusual from all the trials I’ve watched. For lack of a better word, I find the whole thing “neat”

I ran out of popcorn so I decided to ask, why are you guys so intently arguing with OP? He’s either a moron or a troll

I have used the top of the line MacBook Pro (work provided) for ~8 years. They’re great laptops. They can handle any programming compilation workload I can throw at it, even on top of all of IT’s required malware. The OS is stable and stays out of my way for the most part. I don’t use any Apple software and generally dislike when I have to do anything Apple-specific, but the hardware and runtime environment are undeniably solid.
That said, I’ll probably never own a Mac because they’re unreasonably expensive. I can get a high end gaming laptop or build a ludicrous desktop for the same price and run either linux or windows.
