        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.

        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.

            Well either she is unneccesarily using a gaming Laptop for non-gaming.

            Or she uses her private gaming laptop for work and doesnt separate between those two spheres, which is unprofessional and potentially dangerous in regards to privacy security.

              I don’t see why this would be an issue, it’s a computer after all.

              Using her own machine for sensitive work like that, on the other hand, I do see the point. Unless there is some sort of dual boot setup involved.

              There are plenty of reasons besides gaming to have a laptop with a dedicated GPU. There isn’t really many low end professional options, they start over $2k. 3D modelling, video rendering, ML and a bunch of other professional uses are significantly improved with dedicated hardware.

              Who knows, maybe she’s running LLaMA on it locally so no one catches her using AI to write her rebuttals.

              unless it means you are using your work laptop to game.

              Why is this a bad thing? Why would you have separate computers, when you can have one good one?

                Security issues. It’s standard security policy for most companies to separate private and work.

                  So have a drive for work and one for play. Bill the laptop to work but spec it for what you want at home.

                    Not even that. She could be dual booting windows with windows on two separate encrypted partitions. There’s going to be someone at work who knows how to set it up.
