Why would you want a Macbook Air though? Why not an LG Gram or a Dell XPS or literally any other laptop in that price range? Lawyers don’t need 5k screens and room filling laptop speakers, and those are the only things Apple consistently beats their competition at.

My guess is that she walked into a computer store and told the guy behind the desk “get me the fastest laptop you have”. Gaming laptops are the fastest laptops out there, easily beating Apple’s lineup for a lower price at the cost of battery life. As long as she can plug in her laptop when she needs to, she’s got her ultra fast computer.

She could get an eGPU for all she cares, she’s not the one carrying that thing around. “Light” is not her biggest concern. Knowing she works with elderly like Trump, the bigger screen may be a big advantage for showing documents; add pixels all you want, but if you often work with people in their 60s it’s not going to matter if you get 1080p or 6k, you just need a screen big enough for their degrading eyes to read the text.
