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.

Is it the RoG Strix by any chance?

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.
