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.

Dont be silly. He's talking about the real good bussy.

[–] 1847953620@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Definitely don't turn that off

Sorry to break it to you but she's been deactivated for a little while now

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

Yeah I actually think this is really cool because buying this sort of laptop, you have to know a thing or two about computers and intentionally buy it. It's not a default choice, she had a reason to get this specific category of gaming laptop. She's probably a gamer with a watercooled rig at home, but as a lawyer is often on the go between clients, and she wants to get in on some sidequests and grinds whenever she can.

It's also possible that she just asked IT to buy her the fastest laptop they could find. I choose to believe that she's 4th ranked in the world in Destiny 2, though.

I'd bet my left but she has no idea it can be turned off let alone how to turn it off.

I've done some work for lawyers before in the it field and I would place a hefty bet of $10 that the reason that she has that laptop is that her old one broke down and she told her it guy to get her the most powerful laptop available.

Lawyers are not really known for being technologically savvy, same for doctors and teachers, but they often have a lot of money to burn for tax purposes every year.

Yeah there are so many lawyers with AOL accounts. I personally know one who is a powerhouse, won awards and whatnot. But outside the courtroom? As dumb as a bag of bricks, super naive, was shocked to learn they are an attorney, let alone the go to attorney in their field.

I felt that one in my soul.

Is it the RoG Strix by any chance?

[–] mysticallego@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's actually the same one I got for college

[–] LeylaaLovee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

RoG laptops are legendary for quality, I don't blame her for having one.

Let's not go nuts here, either. ASUS software is genuine garbage and there are lots of bad polish details all over the place.

But they make pretty weird, nutty choices that are often unique and cool, so I sometimes put up with their nonsense just for that.
