  • Hopefully, people are just taking liberties to shit talk someone they dislike for reasons unrelated to the shit talking.

    Even in the worst case that it’s all Misogynistic, well… at least the attacks aren’t on her womanhood or some other protected class.

    In Texas communities people were making fun of Greg Abbotts handicap, and thought that was ok because he’s a horrible excuse for a human. But, disability is a protected class. It’s a thing we agree shouldn’t be used against someone.

    And I just don’t see the same problem with ridiculing someone for being a gaming laptop wielding lawyer.


  • It’s totally possible that she of her own informed mind made the best choice for her use case.

    You make that claim, but I literally traveled with my personal and professional laptops on multiple occasions. Work policy is pretty strict on acceptable use of the work laptop, despite it being specced for running light ML tasks, and capable of gaming.

    The choice of gaming laptop for suit wearing professional use just seems really odd. I’ll admit that if a guy did it, I’d have a slightly different first take… and that’d be to assume he was a gamer, and think “bro brought his fucking gaming machine to court”. And if you wanna call me out on that assumption, I’ll happily go out and double check my pre-conceived notions with statistics about pc gamers. I could be wrong.




  • 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.
