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?

I once worked for a company who had an accountant who used a gaming laptop. They didn't play games, but it was the only decent one they could get with a number pad.

The administrative offices in my little bro's college also use HP Omen laptops for some reason. It was a treat watching boomers one-finger-type on RGB keyboards ๐Ÿ˜‚

See, like that is a perfectly reasonable off-label use for something like this given the context.
