it's time for my trump card

Plot twist: She’s mining shitcoin with the courthouse electricity. She’s smart enough to know that’s the only paycheck she’s getting.

Judge: “Counsel, why is your laptop running so loudly?”

Lawyer: “It’s…uh…fuming at the witch hunt that my client has endured.”

I choose my facts carefully and this one is the one.

This just screams "Rich-looking lady who knows fuck all about computers goes into shop to ask what laptop she needs to run Excel"

94

or... she's a gamer and she travels a lot

- No, no. This is a female and females aren’t allowed to game.
  
  Could also be that Asus knew a picture like this would come out, so gave her a free laptop to get the ROG brand in a prominent place.
  
  82
- I would hope if she was she would have a seperate not-gaming Laptop for work.
  
  Would be more professional, but shes Trumps lawyer so I guess there is not much to expect in the way of professionalism.
  
  39
- She can write the laptop off her taxes.
  
  15
- A lady gamer. What nonsense.
  
  10
Or maybe she knows exactly what she needs and decided to buy a ROG Laptop

33
- Possibly, I guess some of us just never seen a lawyer w a gaming laptop. I thought people in those suit wearing professions either use MacBooks or ThinkPads.

Today when I walked into the Trump case court I saw something I dread every time I close my eyes. A lawyer had brought their new gaming laptop to courtroom. The Forklift she used to bring it was still running idle at the back. I started sweating as I sat down and gazed over at the 700lb beast that was her laptop. She had already reinforced his desk with steel support beams and was in the process of finding an outlet for a power cable thicker than Amy Schumer's thigh. I start shaking. I keep telling myself I'm going to be alright and that there's nothing to worry about. She somehow finds a fucking outlet. Tears are running down my cheeks as I send my last texts to my family saying I love them. The judge enters, and the lawyer turns her laptop on. The colored lights on her RGB Backlit keyboard flare to life like a nuclear flash, and a deep humming fills my ears and shakes my very soul. The entire city power grid goes dark. The courtroom begins to shake as the massive fans begin to spin. In mere seconds my world has gone from vibrant life, to a dark, earth shattering void where my body is getting torn apart by the 150mph gale force winds and the 500 decibel groan of the cooling fans. As my body finally surrenders, I weep, as my court and my city go under. I fucking hate gaming laptops.

Show me on this doll where the gaming laptop hurt you

23
See, this person gets it.

If she was actually smart she wouldn’t be using a laptop for gaming. 👍

48

lawyers can frequently be required to travel or wait. IMO this makes sense, especially if you want to play something during down time.

69
Not everyone has the space for a dedicated nerd setup like you suburban twats do.

61
- Exactly and she's a lawyer, so if she really wants to game at a serious level she needs a portable rig she can use between clients. She probably has a rig at her condo.
  
  29
- I once lived in a 150 sq ft. motel room, and I still managed to set up a desk with a dual monitor gaming desktop at the foot of my bed. It can be doable in a small space.

I game on my Aorus laptop just fine. Runs recent releases very well, and it's nice to sit on the couch to play them.

Why gatekeep people for the things they enjoy? I mean, this is Trump's lawyer so I'm sure she's a shitty human, but still.

24
Lots of people use their "gaming" laptops as working stations. I barely use mine for playing, but I like to have a big screen with full keyboard and a nice GPU for my work, and something I can take with me if needed, for example for a long work trip. I also have a smaller laptop for things on the go.

15
- I usually get the last generation of slimmest gaming laptop because they easily cover any game I'd play at a LAN party and can handle media creation and rendering.
  
  7
This makes no sense in the modern age where we have products like the Steam Deck prove form factor and quality are both achievable

11
💯 she got it for the RGB

11
- My Boomer dad bought a ridiculously expensive gaming laptop because he "wanted the best computer" and still believes that more expensive = better. He uses it to surf the internet...🤦

If she uses one computer for work and entertainment, and has to have a laptop for work, then she is smart to have a single machine capable of everything she needs.

11
Would you rather remote in to your desktop from a steam deck?

8
- Steam deck runs everything that I'd want to play on it locally, way better than remote streaming. It's punching way above it's weight class. I'm almost done with elden ring on it and I'll be moving to cyberpunk 2.0 if it's as good as people are saying
  
  6
I’m guessing she travels a lot.

7
I think it suggests there's a game she can't go without, and she went out of her way to get a heavy af laptop with shit battery life, just so she could be able to play this game whenever she had time between her lawyer duties.

He probably also doesn't want to need glasses in court so he has the biggest screen so each sentence can be in font size 48 and still fit on one screen.

More than likely there isn't anything on the screen unless the lawyers put something on for him to say which he will ignore anyways.

29
- They put cartoons on it for him so he’d sit still and eat his peas.
  
  14
- He's functionally illiterate. There's video of an old deposition of him from before he was President where he's asked to read some materials and his lawyer keeps trying to put a stop to it because it's clear he basically can't read.
  
  14
That's strange, because it makes his tiny hands look even smaller!

5
It's probably not even on. Or his screensaver is up.

3
They also knew they shouldn't give him a keyboard because he'd crash that thing in no time while bragging about how much he knows about IT and all the FANG tech leads who told him how knowledgeable he is.

Yeah but imagine she asks the Judge to a 1v1. That'd be a real gamer move

42

Exact opposite on either side of dumb. Ones got a fucking thinkpad the others about to own newbz in fortnite

35

But which one runs Linux?

25
- That Thinkpad looks too new to run Linux. Your best bet for optimal support is a machine that's about 3 years old
  
  14
- Yes.

On the last day of trial the parties are going to come to a binding settlement agreement based on the outcomes of a 1v1 on Rust between councilors.

Asus RoG laptops are so underestimated for productivity. The AMD chips have fantastic battery life and performance.

Recently set up an office on a couple of them, granted it was not this high end of a model but it’s stupid to ignore them for office use.

Also I guarantee she didn’t pick this. This was 100% advised to her by her companies IT group after she repeatedly said her computer was slow. It’ll run all the spyware she downloads with enough cores left over to run excel.

All the memes on youtube about Biden and trump playing video games together make sense now

24

Yo, Donald, thanks for the sub

17

The guy with a ThinkPad deserves massive props. Hell to the yeah for the ThinkPad gang

17

ROG GAMING

15

I'm not annoyed at this one. Republic of Gaming and Gaming Laptop are two chunks. ROG is the brand. Gaming Laptop is the product

2
It reads "Asus ROG" "gaming laptop", not "Asus ROG Gaming" "laptop".

I paid for it with the money I got from the ATM machine.

She's gonna grind that final judge.

12

ROG? Or maybe ROC? 🇹🇼

AOC

So, alright, in her defense, I have that particular laptop and a) it's not that heavy, b) at least the AMD versions can go up to 8-9 hours with the mux switch off, and c) it actually has a great typing keyboard. It is absolutely a kickass mobile workstation, especially if you need the performance to do other stuff like edit video (or game, obviously).

Now, would I have switched the RGB off during court proceedings? Yes, I would have switched the RGB off.

She knows it is serious boss battle mode so she needs that rgb for the extra performance boost.
