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?

They probably just wanted a powerful spec computer. That's what gamer laptops are for. They're actually not that expensive, probably just as expensive, or cheaper, then a Lenovo x1 carbon.

I gave a fuck once. I gave it to this cute girl I met at a party. She never talked to me after that. I'm never giving a fuck again.

My wife's X1 Carbon was the same price as my Legion 7 Pro
