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?

    Well, it’s a ROG laptop, and they can go for north of $1000 USD fairly easily.

    What I’m curious about is why does her law firm do byod? You’d want client files locked down with whole disk encryption - and probably domain joined. It’s much more likely that you get a Thinkpad or Dell something.

      This. I have two laptops that I use daily; they’re both 15", but the main difference is that one is for work, while the other is for personal stuff (Columbian fart porn, obviously).

      The work laptop is not only of a much more practical weight for when I’m out and about for work-related purposes, but it’s also encrypted, on a domain where everything is SSO, and if it gets lost/stolen I can phone up a coworker to have him wipe it. It’s a dell latitude 4something.

      Of course, my other laptop could have the same setup, but the fact that it’s a gaming laptop makes it considerably heavier, more power hungry, and not even close to practical to haul around all the time.

      All you need for DJ and Bitlocker is a pro version of Windows. It’s a 99$ upgrade if you have the home version. The laptop may have come with pro anyway because it supports more ram than the home version.
