If she was actually smart she wouldn’t be using a laptop for gaming. 👍
lawyers can frequently be required to travel or wait. IMO this makes sense, especially if you want to play something during down time.
Not everyone has the space for a dedicated nerd setup like you suburban twats do.
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.
Sounds like a space management skill issue. Git gud.
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.
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.
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.
💯 she got it for the RGB
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...🤦
Next time buy a laptop for him. But get him a chrome book and charge him for the best? It's. It stealing if he was going to lose the money alway right?

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.
This makes no sense in the modern age where we have products like the Steam Deck prove form factor and quality are both achievable
Would you rather remote in to your desktop from a steam deck?
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
Hold the phone, better than streaming from a local beefy desktop?
Streaming is always worse than running natively.
Streaming is universally dog shit. I tried streaming elden ring and it was unplayable because of the latency. Meanwhile running locally I've put in 30+ hours.
Ah, shit. I guess streaming might work a bit better cabled though. Good thing it manages locally
Steam deck doesn't have as much horsepower as a modern gaming laptop does it? It's just very well preforming for the price?
I haven't bothered with gaming laptops in a while, but it seems like the work valve put into Proton is paying dividends. Steam deck is punching far above it's weight class. Apparently a lot of games now are running better in Linux via proton than natively in Windows, which is kind of mind boggling. I don't have to do any troubleshooting and everything runs great. I'd guess to get comparable performance on a laptop you'd have to spend 2-3x as much. Last time I used a gaming laptop it struggled on any 'current' games with lots of fuckery to get it running smooth.
But like I said, I've long been out of the gaming laptop scene because I just never found them worth the trouble. Steam deck is the opposite of that and I play it in favor of my PC more than I care to admit.
I’m guessing she travels a lot.
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.
